Each year the Woodbridge Senior High School Viking Battalion thank local community veterans of veteran organizations, local community veterans, and veteran teachers and staff. It is our effort to teach our school about veterans and is the second year where the cadets recognize a military veteran who continues to give back to our nation and our veterans.
