VFW Post 29 Post Commander John Berrini attended the ceremony, presenting certificates that read, in part, “In special recognition of outstanding achievement and exceptional leadership ability.”

“We are honored to award these students with the VFW JROTC award for their community service and their dedicated studies and good grades coupled with their leadership of over 100 students who are in the JROTC program at Haverhill High School,” says Berrini.
Berrini said the annual awards have proven to be great way to stay connected with the local community as Post 29 has for more than the last 106 years.
