The Proud to Be an American Week began this morning at the private school in southwest Abilene
Members of an Abilene boy scout troop and Air Force Lieutenant Colonel, Tony Marlowe participated in the patriotic ceremony, along with members of the 7th Logistics Readiness Squadron.
The program began this morning with a special prayer, along with the pledge and a singing of the national anthem and Amazing Grace around the school flag pole.
