Members of Deer Park High School's Patriot Club and Spanish Honor Society gathered on Sept. 20 at the Town of Babylon’s annual POW/MIA Vigil to honor the sacrifices of our veterans and remember those who remain unaccounted for. Students, veterans and town residents stood united, holding candles as a symbol of hope and remembrance, and student Sophia Sheeler sang “The Star-Spangled Banner.” The Deer Park students volunteered their time with the veterans and shared a commitment to honoring their legacy, fostering a sense of community and respect.

“Through this meaningful participation, our students not only demonstrated their patriotism, but also reinforced the importance of remembering those who have served,” social studies teacher and Patriot Club co-adviser Joe Alo said. “Deer Park will continue to play a big role in this event for years to come.”
