[caption id="attachment_2498" align="alignleft" width="300"] Lieutenant Commander Tim White and family[/caption] This year's theme for Silverdale's Veterans Day program is "For Freedom". Students have been working on art projects, essays, and research projects in preparations for next month's celebration of our nation's veterans. Our keynote speaker for this year's event will be Lieutenant Commander Timothy White, the Navy officer who returned fire during the July 16, 2015 attack on the Navy Operational Support Center here in Chattanooga. We hope you'll make plans to join us for what will be one of the most powerful events we host all year.
