The Lenape High School Chamber Choir performs the Star Spangled Banner at the beginning of the Lenape Regional High School Districts
fifth annual Armed Services Awards Ceremony last week.
District students prepare for military
By MIKE MONOSTRA
The Sun
Being in the presence of mili-
tary veterans was nothing new
for Seneca High School senior
Chandler Dwyer.
Continuing in the footsteps of
other family members, Dwyer
will be heading to the Navy after
graduating in June. He was able
to see through those around him
the importance of serving in the
military.
However, for some of the other
27 students in the Lenape Region-
al High School District who will
be heading to a branch of mili-
tary at the end of the school year,
they are heading into uncharted
territory, with little idea of what
to expect.
After being honored at the dis-
tricts fifth annual Armed Servic-
es Awards Ceremony, they were
introduced to a new community,
one of which only a handful of
select alumni can say they are a
part.
At the ceremony, members of
the school and local community
gave thanks to students prepar-
ing to enter the military and com-
munity members who have or are
currently serving.
However, there was another
connection being made through-

Students thanked by community
out the evening, a connection
only members of the military
could make.
The ceremonys keynote
speaker was Dennis Devery, a Mt.
Laurel native who spent 30 years
in the military, and is the vice
president for institutional plan-
ning and research at Thomas
Edison State College.
Devery gave the graduating
seniors an honest talk about the
military, saying while many peo-
ple wholeheartedly support vet-
erans, others simply dont care.
This is where bonding with veter-
ans becomes so important.
They are the shoulders on
which you will build your lega-
cy, Devery said.
While there are many advan-
tages coming with military serv-
ice, Devery explained there will
be many sacrifices and tribula-
tions with it as well.
Seneca High School senior Jay-
den Fries is prepared to make
those sacrifices. Fries, who will
be going into the Air Force, said
he finds it easy to connect with
those who have already served.
You see a veteran, and they
sacrificed, and we are about to
sacrifice ourselves, he said.
You make that connection im-
mediately.
Dwyer said the appreciation
for veterans couldnt be under-
stated.
Without them, there wouldnt
be us here, he said. We really
appreciate that.
The school districts goal in
holding the ceremony isnt just to
honor military personnel, but to
create a Lenape community
where military alumni can re-
turn home and talk about those
entering the military.
Superintendent Carol Birn-
bohm told the seniors how cru-
cial it was to support their fellow
veterans.
Hopefully this ceremony lets
you know the importance of
their service in your country,
she said.
Chris Heilig, the director of
programs and planning for the
district, said the district knows
the importance of serving the
military. The creation of a com-
munity of military personnel
within Lenapes alumni
has helped to keep the awards
ceremony going strong for five
years.
A number of veterans, old and
young, received awards at the
ceremony. For students such as
Dwyer and Fries, those veterans
have served as role models for
them.
Soon, Dwyer and Fries will be-
come role models for Lenape stu-
dents of the future.
