This Week at Briarwood, October 15

October 15 - 19

HONORING OUR AMERICAN SOLDIERS

In the words of General George S. Patton Jr., “The highest obligation and privilege of citizenship is that of bearing arms for one’s country.” The high cost and sacrifice of a few that defend our great country permit the many of us to wake each morning enjoying the benefits of that hard fought freedom. The brave and courageous men and women that run towards the chaos and towards the battle lines to preserve our life and liberty are the ones we owe a tremendous debt of gratitude, for as Elmer Davis once said, “This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.”

At Briarwood Christian School we honor and respect, we stand and salute, and we support and pray for our veterans and active duty military for their tremendous valor and resolve despite obstacles and circumstances.

Our beloved extended Briarwood family humbly boasts of such courageous men and women and we honor them each day and especially this past Homecoming week where we focused on “Honoring our Military.”

Please enjoy this video that highlights our brave Briarwood family members and alumni that have heeded the call to serve in the great Armed Forces of the United States of America!
