(KNZA)--It was the memory of a lifetime created Wednesday for a group of Everest Middle School students, as the four laid a wreath at Arlington National Cemetery while visiting the nation's capital. “We were just so proud of them,” Beth Jensen, a 15-year-member of the Everest Travel Group, told KNZA Radio. “There were a couple of mothers and I that had tears in our eyes we were just so proud of them.”
Jensen says the Everest Travel Group helped arrange the opportunity. “We watched the changing of the guard, and then, right after that, we were able to watch them put the wreath on. It was a big blue and white wreath that said Everest Middle School.”
The four students who first learned the protocol, and then laid the wreath, are Kendra Cowley, Sarah Hutfles, Camryn Lowe and Marshall Randall.
