Keith Valley Students Honor Veterans: VIDEO

HORSHAM, PA — On Friday, students at Keith Valley Middle School in Horsham carried on a school tradition, saying thanks to area military veterans with their "Breakfast With Vets" event.

"Some 12-15 years ago is when we started the breakfast. It's gotten bigger each year," said John Ewerth, assistant principal at Keith Valley. "For us, it's the opportunity to say 'thank you' to those who have given us the freedoms that we enjoy."

Ewerth estimated that between 300-350 people attended this year's breakfast. Active-duty and retired military members are invited each year.

Students at the middle school wrote and decorated hundreds of "thank you" letters to veterans, lead opening ceremonies at the event and served breakfast to those who attended.
