Perimeter School will continue our 29-year tradition of students and faculty expressing appreciation to veterans for their service at the Perimeter School Veterans Celebration. Please join us in-person or online on Wednesday, November 6 at 9:30 AM as we honor all those who have served in the armed forces.
Our program will include the traditional elements of Perimeter School Veterans Celebrations such as the honoring of veterans during the Armed Forces Medley. We encourage veterans to wear their uniforms or insignias that indicate their branch of service.
A reception for our guests immediately follows the celebration. Accessible parking and curbside assistance will be available.
You can also view the celebration online live by visiting PerimeterSchool.org or by searching “Perimeter Church” on YouTube, Apple TV, or Facebook at 9:30 AM on November 9.
We are honored to have Mr. Ed Dunnington as our speaker this year. Mr. Dunnington served in the United States Army as a field artillery officer in the 3/11 FA Battalion, as a detachment commander and battalion fire direction officer in the National Guard, and in an Army Reserve howitzer battalion before resigning his commission in 2000. He has also served as an RUF campus minister at the University of Washington and pastored Christ the King Presbyterian Church in Roanoke, VA. He is now President of Geneva Benefits Group.

Please invite veterans and friends to join us or to view the event online! We hope to honor and celebrate the many veterans in our community and the live stream will allow even more veterans to experience the blessing of our Veterans Celebration.
We look forward to uniting together to honor veterans and show our appreciation for their service to our country!
4 WAYS YOUR FAMILY CAN CELEBRATE VETERANS DAY:
1. Attend a LOCAL Veterans Day event.
Take your family! Your support, simply by your presence, means a lot.
- Perimeter School Veterans Day Celebration- Wednesday Nov 6
- Norcross Veterans Day Event- Monday Nov 11
- Peachtree Corners Veterans Day Event- Monday Nov 11
- Honoring our Veterans in Johns Creek- Saturday Nov 9
2. Fly a flag
Put your American flag out on Veterans Day and fly it for all to see. This is a day of celebration, not mourning, so your flag should not be flown at half mast. To get your youngest ones involved, decorate for the day by putting small flags into the ground and line your sidewalk.
3. Write a thank you note
Sit down with your child to make a card or write a letter for a veteran you know. Getting a card in the mail brightens everyone's day. Don't know a veteran? Drop cards off at your local VA Hospital or veterans home if allowed, or team up with Operation Gratitude to write letters to those serving. Once registered, they will email you a letter-writing guide, printable coloring sheets for children, and instructions for shipping the letters to them for distribution.
