Wooden plaques with engraved plates including the name of service
member, year of graduation from Harwood Union and branch of service will
be displayed within a glass front case mounted on the wall in one of
the school hallways.
"It is important to recognize the service and sacrifice that alumni have
made/are making to our community and our country. Our school mission
statement states in part that 'each person is ... inspired to contribute
to a democratic society' and there is no greater example of graduates
who exemplify this goal than those who serve in the uniformed services.
The acknowledgment of those who defend our freedom and democracy in
selfless service, particularly in times of conflict, is congruent with
our school mission," said board member and Fayston resident Freddie
Graves.
Harwood Union High School is supported in the project by the American
Legion Posts #59 of Waterbury and #75 of the Mad River Valley and
citizens within the six Harwood Union communities.
Alumni, family members and community members are encouraged to submit
names of graduates known to have served in any of the seven branches,
whether in active, reserve or National Guard status, to the Harwood
Union website link "Uniformed Services Project."

Contributions can be made to Harwood Union High School Uniformed
Services Project, Harwood Union High School, Box 458 VT RT 100,
Moretown, VT 05660. No service member will be required to pay to have
their name included on the plaque so contributions are needed to defray
costs of engraving nameplates, plaques and display case materials.
