 Thankfully, it's November and Appalachian Wireless is offering the Samsung GS8 or the GS8 Plus for $100 off the regular price with two-year agreement. Better service, bigger savings. That's today's Appalachian Wireless at East Kentucky Network Company. Veterans Day events were held across the region today in an effort to give a little something back to those who have given so much to us. Allen Elementary in Floyd County held such an event as around 20 veterans were treated to launch and a special program performed by the students. School officials say it's important to teach their children the importance of honoring those who fight for our country. One of the most important things that we do in all schools is to teach our children about what it means to be an American. It's one of the things that we do with a lot of honor and a lot of valor. It's important for us that our kids understand their freedom and where that comes from. So we're excited and today is just like a culminating event to that, that when they see the pictures and they get to meet the veterans and shake their hands that they understand that these individuals are the people that have provided that freedom that we enjoy every day. It was not only a special day for veterans but for their families as well. Five-year-old Addison Bostic had not seen her dad since his deployment in December of 2016. At today's Veterans Day celebration she was reunited with her dad after a long 11-months apart. Sergeant Chris Bostic says the support he receives from his family and his little girl means absolutely everything to him. I couldn't ask for better. My family is very supportive of what I do and that's a lot of what it takes. If you don't have a good support group then it's not going to be a great time over there. I was hoping she didn't notice me before I turned around. I wanted to come just as soon as I caught off the plane but it would be worth it to see her face. It was great. It was one of the best feelings I've had in a long time. Sergeant Bostic says he is now home for good and plans to spend his time with his daughter and making her happy.
