Council, was in recognition and appreciation of our students and staff who are
dedicated to the preservation of our liberty by service in Operation Iraqi
Freedom. Troy Jones, Computer Instructor, and Bradley Rich, Computer
& AE Instructor, were staff members who served along with several of our
graduates. An Honor Guard representing National Guard Units from Paris,
Union City, and Jackson conducted the ceremony with Rusty Taylor, also a
veteran of this war, giving the special dedication. Special Patriotic music
was performed by the Dresden High School Chorus under the direction of Blair
Chadwick.
