MACHESNEY PARK (WREX) - Harlem High School honors its former students serving in the military.On Monday the school dedicated a military wall in the school's lobby. It has pictures of Harlem graduates who are serving and who have served in the military.
One graduate we talked to says he hopes the wall inspires more students to join the military. "It might open their perspective as far as what's out there and what they might do when they get out," said U.S. Army Recruiter Cpl. Andrew Michael Crosby.
The Roscoe Post 2955 VFW auxiliary and image signs helped pay for the wall.
