Elkhart High School is refusing young, pre signed, Military personal from representing their commitment to the United States of America during graduation commencement with a simple stole (sash) around their necks. The Military branches have/ can provide these to our kids who are literally giving their lives for their fellow Americans for then to walk the stage proud. Most of the local schools, other then Elkhart High School, allow this. Please sign and help support this change for the kids in Elkhart High School to have this 2024 graduation their day and able to represent their life commitments to US as a Country!

Reason

We need to support the young dedicating to our future. They live and die for our freedoms and they should be able to walk across a Graduation stage with a simple stole showing the branch they have committed to. I am a Mother of a Young Man, who has signed for the military after graduation. I was told he couldn't wear this in fear he may not get his diploma. Please help me change this! He deserves to represent the Military on the say he worked the hardest to earn, GRADUATION!

Thank you for your support, Phylicia Stockwell from Elkhart
