A privilege to honor them through music

On Nov. 13, Sunnyside Elementary School in Marysville presented their Veterans Day assembly. Rep. Hans Dunshee was invited to attend but since he was busy in Olympia, he was unable to attend. He did send his legislative assistant, Christina Dunsmore, and I thank him for sending someone from his staff.

Most of all I thank every veteran that attended our concert. It was such a privilege to honor them through music.
