Members of the SDSU Pride of the Dakotas drumline, led by Aaron Ragsdale, perform and speak with the students about playing their instruments as wells as their musical backgrounds that brought them to play with the Pride.
Army veterans and VFW members Loren Hanson and Dave Zoelle taught students about proper American flag etiquette, the flag's background, as well as how to properly fold and handle the flag. They also shared more information about the VFW and Rolling Thunder and all they do for the POW/MIA causes.
