74 years ago America was brought into World War II with the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Last Monday, students from different Dekalb County high schools participated in a symbolic flag raising at the county’s Administrative and Instructional Complex off of Mountain Industrial Blvd. Veterans were invited to attend the small but meaningful ceremony.
