Normandy official, veterans help RMA bring history to life

For students at Rocky Mount Academy, Veterans Day was more than a lesson from a history book. On Wednesday, it was an opportunity to shake the hands of men and women who wore the nation’s uniform, hear their stories and meet a visitor from Normandy, France, whose life’s work has been dedicated to ensuring the sacrifice of an American soldier from Rocky Mount is never forgotten. Veterans lined the campus roadway Wednesday morning as students and families welcomed them to the academy’s annual Veterans Day celebration. The parade and school being in session on the federal holiday is part of a long and proud tradition for the private school, staff and students. And the celebration was a campuswide event that incorporated the participation of the entire school. The program honored veterans from every branch of military service while emphasizing the values of duty, sacrifice and citizenship that educators hope students will carry into their own lives. “We teach history in our classrooms,” Head of School Beth Covolo told attendees. “But you, our veterans, lived it.” The ceremony’s special guest was Jean-Vincent du Lac de Fugeres, a Normandy native and elected official there whose connection to eastern North Carolina stretches back

The city of Rocky Mount’s Veterans Day ceremony included the audience getting the chance to hear about a native son who lost his life in World War II. Jean-Vincent du Lac de Fugeres of Normandy, France, has long been tending to the gravesite of Pvt. John T. Lee at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in France. Speaking on a warm Wednesday morning at the ceremony held at the Rocky Mount Veterans Memorial at Jack Laughery Park, du Lac de Fugeres told the audience that 30 years ago he was a student at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and that he fell in love with the state and the nation. He also told the audience that one of his ancestors fought for America’s independence from the British, meaning that he also is a son of the American Revolution. And, du Lac de Fugeres also told the audience that he is proud to have been born on the Fourth of July. In April 2025, he was presented a key to the city amid a visit to Rocky Mount.

Nash Community College honors veterans and their families

Although military service often ends with a discharge or retirement, its impact lasts a lifetime. That message resonated throughout Nash Community College’s campus during a Veterans Day ceremony Wednesday where veterans, family members, students, faculty and staff gathered to honor those who answered the nation’s call to serve. The ceremony also recognized the sacrifices that continue long after military careers have ended. Featuring remarks from college leaders, the ceremony also included a keynote address by veteran Raquel Hedgepeth, who challenged attendees to look beyond the familiar phrase, “Thank you for your service,” and consider what service truly means. For Hedgepeth, military service begins with a decision many young Americans make before fully understanding where that choice might lead. “Most of us enlisted around 18 years old,” she told the audience. “You’re leaving your parents’ home, leaving your family and stepping into something completely different.” Drawing from her own experiences, Hedgepeth reflected on how military service exposes men and women to new people, cultures and places while developing skills that remain long after they leave the Armed Forces. Those experiences, she said, help shape character, resilience and leadership. Military service also creates bonds that endure for decades. “We all understand what
