"In celebration of Veterans Day, Millwood Elementary School welcomed Mr. Times and Mr. Carolina from The Forty & Eight, an honor organization of American military veterans, for the Flags for First Graders program," according to Sumter School District. "Through this long-standing patriotic and educational outreach effort, our veteran guests taught first-grade students about the history of the American flag, flag etiquette and the true meaning of civic pride and service to our nation. Each first-grader was presented with their own flag to take home."
