11/16/15 Dragon Connection
Good morning, organized Dragon Scholars. As we stand for the moment of silence, let us do so in a spirit of gratitude to
the relatives of our NHS Faculty, Staff, and Students who have protected us and our freedom
by serving in the United States Military: Air Force-Alex Cuarenta, James Ross, Gene Brantley;
Army-Fred M. Whitbeck, Abraham Godwin, Tommi Godwin, John Fontenot, George Williams,
Charles Herring, Trish Sweat, Heri Cruse, Al Romanack, Bob DeWitt; Navy-Sheree Holland; and
Marines-Joseph Stewart.
(silence) Teachers, please verify that students are in dress Code. Send students who do not have on their IDs to the
nearest AP Office. And now the pledges.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, One Nation under
God, Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for ALL.
And now the Texas flag. Honor the Texas Flag. I pledge Allegiance to Thee, Texas, One State under God, One and
Indivisible.
Please be seated.
