As each military branch was named, the respective members from that branch stood to applause. Roughly 480 people attended the ceremony. The event was held to honor veterans and current US military members. In the US, the holiday is a time to honor the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Observed each year on November 11, it began as Armistice Day, marking the end of World War I. The US holiday recognizes veterans from all branches and eras, thanking them for their sacrifice, courage, and dedication. Communities across Texas held ceremonies, parades, and moments of silence to show appreciation. It\u2019s also a day to reflect on the freedoms protected by their service and to offer support to those who continue to carry the burdens of duty.\n<\/p>\n<p>The school&#8217;s band played the theme for each of the five military branches while students displayed the flags of each branch. Flags displayed were for the U.S. Air Force, Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard. Veterans for all branches except the Coast Guard were present on stage. The school&#8217;s band director, a veteran of the US Marine Corps, gave a brief address to those gathered.<br \/>\n<br style=\"clear:none;\"\/>\n<\/p>\n<p><h2 id=\"Sources\">Sources<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><!-- \nNewPP limit report\nParsed by mw&#8208;web.codfw.main&#8208;7d5dc84cf6&#8208;lgfcq\nCached time: 20251203150303\nCache expiry: 2592000\nReduced expiry: false\nComplications: [vary&#8208;revision&#8208;sha1]\nCPU time usage: 0.068 seconds\nReal time usage: 0.105 seconds\nPreprocessor visited node count: 380\/1000000\nRevision size: 2092\/2097152 bytes\nPost&#8208;expand include size: 19245\/2097152 bytes\nTemplate argument size: 851\/2097152 bytes\nHighest expansion depth: 14\/100\nExpensive parser function count: 8\/500\nUnstrip recursion depth: 0\/20\nUnstrip post&#8208;expand size: 2918\/5000000 bytes\nLua time usage: 0.003\/10.000 seconds\nLua memory usage: 632989\/52428800 bytes\nNumber of Wikibase entities loaded: 0\/500\n--><br \/>\n<!--\nTransclusion expansion time report (%,ms,calls,template)\n100.00%   76.835      1 -total\n 36.59%   28.113      1 Template:Publish\n 33.32%   25.603      1 Template:Social_bookmarks\n 27.77%   21.335      1 Template:Date\n 14.54%   11.170      1 Template:Source\n  9.70%    7.454      1 Template:Original\n  8.70%    6.686      3 Template:W\n  5.97%    4.589      1 Template:Source\/pub\n  4.26%    3.270      1 Template:Haveyoursay\n  3.94%    3.025      1 Template:COinS\n--><\/p>\n<p><!-- Saved in parser cache with key enwikinews:stable-pcache:3043152:|#|:idhash:canonical and timestamp 20251203150303 and revision id 4929911.
