Welcome to Wagner! September 21, 2007
Talk about hospitality! Dana Sanderson, Wagner School Guidance Counselor, and Tony Krcil, President of the local VFW, really rolled out the red carpet for four of the SDPB staff as we came into Wagner to offer the Homefront South Dakota preview film screening event at the Legion Hall on September 21.

A group of 95 individuals attended and they included high school students, veterans, and families of veterans. The evening's event was promoted through the local paper as well as flyers that were distributed throughout the community and school. Eight veterans were interviewed for story collection and the photos and memorabilia that they shared and displayed were priceless.

The community of Wagner should really be proud of the focus they put on patriotism and the way their young people are encouraged to honor the local veterans every year. It gives credit to the idea that you don't know where you're going until you know where you've been.
Thanks to Dana and Tony for memorable evening for all of us!
