Some of the veterans retired from the military after years of service, while others served for a short time. Some served in peacetime. Some served in wartime. It also brought in local members of the veterans service community to explain some of the recent changes in the Veterans Aministration and programs which could impact veterans and their families.

There were popular movie heroes and villains like a mini-Thanos or a slightly smaller Wookie or two. When all the costumed students left the school they had one goal in mind - get treats - as they headed out the school doors.
