Snohomish High School honors 81 fallen veterans SNOHOMISH — A large-scale Veterans Day assembly last month has opened the door for students at Snohomish High School to learn more about alumni from their community who died in wartime.The school will continue to look for more information about the names on a plaque at the school's Veterans Memorial Stadium. The names, 81 in all, are etched in black in the gray stone. School officials also want to track down relatives, said Tuck Gionet, a government teacher at the high school. “It would be great to invite them to future ceremonies,” he said. “I really want to get as much info as we can so that we have a history of the men on the plaque to share in the years to come.” For the assembly, students gathered short biographies and, in some cases, photos of each former student who died in military service. Details of who they were and when they lived were presented. The names included former Snohomish students who served in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, Afghanistan and Iraq. Not every former student who is listed on the plaque attended Snohomish High School, but they did live in the community. Here are the names of the 81 former Snohomish School District students who died in military service during U.S. armed conflicts: World War I: Merle C. Alexander; Glenn T. Bagley; Guy C. Cooper; Frank C. Danner; Oscar Dickson; John Hawks; Gay L. Jones; William E. Koplitz; Jules Le Maitre; Julius C. Morse; Reginald W. Newman; Jesse I. Potter; Herman Saupe; Alfred L. Snyder; Earl T.

Thank you so much for giving us the names of these fine military people.
And it is wonderful that the community took the time to honor them!
