Today's Aubrey Middle School's Veterans Day celebration featured a virtual appearance by David Allan Brown, author of "Any Service Member." Brown's book is a collection of letters sent to soldiers during the Gulf War in 1991, including a section with letters from Aubrey ISD students. Several of these letter writers (now adults) were present at today's assembly. The assembly also featured outstanding student presenters and performances. A huge shoutout to all our guest. And to all our past and present service members who attended, we honor your unwavering commitment and dedication to our country. Thank you for your service. #ChapHeroes #AMSVeterensDay23
