For the Veterans Day Chapel Program this year, on November 11, faculty member Nate Meleo ’95, a military veteran himself, would like to recognize the military contributions of Tabor alumni throughout the generations by featuring reflections, thoughts, and stories about their time in service and the meaning of Veteran’s Day. To do this, Nate needs your help! If you are a TA alumni military veteran and would like to participate in this project, simply email Nate both a photograph of yourself in uniform (if you have one) and whatever thoughts or story you would like shared during the chapel program. Nate will then work with current TA students to create and deliver the program, made up entirely of your own words, for the TA community to reflect on and celebrate.
For submissions or questions, please email Nate at nmeleo@taboracademy.org.
On this anniversary day of September 11, and recognizing the anniversary of D-Day earlier this year, this is an important project for our students. Sharing our commitment, our history, and our feelings with students is an important way to teach them more than what they learn in the history books. Personalizing history makes it real, adds dimension and color, adds heart. I hope to share your stories with another faculty member who is doing specific research on our Tabor alumni involvement in military conflicts through the years, especially WWII. He is hoping to use your stories to bring alumni experience into his US History classroom. So your response may be utilized in more than one venue.
Thank you for your service!
