A Queens Catholic High School had an early Veterans Day celebration Thursday morning, holding a tribute to their alumni who have served our country.
St. Francis Prep invited eleven alumni who served in the navy, army, marines and air force.
The men spoke to students about their experiences overseas and how their time at St. Francis prepared them for their service.
They say their belief in God guided them during the difficult moments.
St. Francis has a history of helping veterans.
The Social Studies Department at the school raises money for America’s vet dogs.
One of those pups in training visited the students on Thursday.
St. Francis Prep is currently fundraising for their 4th therapy dog.
