 At Pikeville Medical Center, we provide full service cancer treatment and follow-up care. And our loss in cancer center is one of only a few in Kentucky to hold accreditation from the Commission on Cancer with accommodations. Our purpose is saving lives. On Thursday, November 10th, Duff Allen Central Elementary School invited veterans from all over the community so that their students could give thanks to those who served. We feel like it's important to have this event every year to teach our kids to love their country, to show their patriotism, not just today but all year round and to honor those veterans that have sacrificed so much to serve their country. So we have our color guard from the Floyd Central High School, our feeder school. They come and present the colors. Our local DAV chapter comes and they host a contest for essays for our older students and poster contests for our younger students and they provide cash prizes and those will be given away today. But they also help us in our school community throughout the year. They will bring Bicycles for attendance awards. They are a huge part of our school community and anytime that we call upon them that if we need something they're right there to help us. From researching to decorating to even presenting, students led the majority of the event as they showed their appreciation to the veterans that served within their local community. We host this event every year and the best part about this event is that it is facilitated by our students. The adults just make sure that the kids know what their part is and they run this entire program. Reporting for Mountain Top News, I'm Jamison Killen.
