(Atlantic) Atlantic Community School District has designated Friday, September 1st as Military and Veterans Appreciation Night. On Friday, the Atlantic Varsity football team will host Glenwood for the 2023 football home opener. ACSD invites all Veterans and active military members to attend the game at no cost that evening. During the halftime of the Varsity game, ACSD will honor local military veterans and active military members in attendance.
Veterans and active members will be invited to meet at the north end zone at the beginning of halftime. After the conclusion of the ACSD Band’s halftime performance, military honorees will be escorted onto the field. At that time Atlantic resident Mike Henningsen will do a flyover in his 1944 North American Aviation AT 6. This aircraft was used as an advanced trainer for pilots in WWII. After the flyover, ACSD Administrator will take a moment to invite all those in attendance to join in honoring local veterans and military members.
In preparation of ACSD’s Military and Veterans Appreciation Night, all local businesses and residents are invited to display American Flags at their place of business and their personal residence.
