Perryville ceremony celebrates military veterans
PERRYVILLE — Of the more than 300 million Americans in this country, only 1 percent of them have served, will serve, or are serving in the U.S. military. U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer 5 Jason J. Horton provided that statistic Wednesday while serving as the keynote speaker during the Veterans Day ceremony at Perryville American Legion Susquehanna Post 135. So while the vast majority of Americans possess a general awareness of the sacrifices made by servicemen and servicewomen, that 99 percent hasn’t and never will experience how those day-in-day-out sacrifices feel to those in uniform. Those sacrifices aren’t made only by military men and military women serving around the globe — some of them in harm’s way during conflicts — but by those carrying out their duties stateside. And one of the hardest and most common sacrifices is spending long periods of time away from family, according to Horton who, is stationed at Aberdeen Proving Ground and serves as senior technical advisor to Portfolio Management Executive Command and Control Information Network. Horton told attendees that, at the 25-year mark in his military career, he finds himself living back in the barracks for the next two years because of his latest

Friday’s meeting will mark the fourth time in the last six seasons that the two schools have met in the postseason. Elkton won the pair’s last postseason matchup 40-13 in Nov. 2024. The two schools also met in Week 4 of this season, when Elkton used a 39-point second half to score a 59-10 victory.

The last time Elkton took the field, it capped off its second consecutive undefeated regular season with a 36-0 win over C. Milton Wright. Elkton will begin its postseason run led by quarterback Ziel Cleveland, who leads the Golden Elks in both passing and rushing yards. Cleveland has thrown for 1,924 yards through the air and 402

Walk of Honor celebrates veterans at Elkton Middle School
ELKTON — Students and staff at Elkton Middle School lined the hallways Wednesday morning, American flags in hand, and cheered as U.S. military veterans walked past. Jilene Orman, community school advisor, said this was the first year the school on North Street invited veterans to the school for the Walk of Honor. “It was an honor making everyone feel special,” Orman said after the line of veterans representing several generations and branches of service, accompanied by a student from the school — in most cases their child, grandchild or godchild — walked through the halls. Some of the students presented the veterans with handwritten thank you cards from the 6th grade. “It meant a lot to me,” said Cory Fairfield. He made the Walk of Honor accompanied by his son Bryce, 12, and his daughter Lyric, 3. “I wanted to show my son I served this country and that he can serve too,” he said. Fairfield was in the Army from 2011 to 2013, serving in the 160th Special Operation Aviation Regiment. “It was awesome,” said Michael Wolf, who served in the Marine Corps from 2004 to 2008. The corporal’s service included deployment to Iraq, where he worked in vehicle
