Some traditions remind us who we are as a community.

September 18th, the Hillsboro R-3 School District will observe National POW/MIA Recognition Day with a vigil from 6 a.m. until midnight at our permanent POW/MIA Memorial in front of Hillsboro R-3 Intermediate School.

Throughout the day, our students, staff and community will come together to honor American prisoners of war, remember those who remain missing in action, and recognize the families who have carried their absence for generations.

We invite our community to stop by during the vigil, spend a few moments at the memorial and help us ensure their sacrifice is never forgotten.

At Hillsboro R-3, remembrance is more than something we say. It is something our community comes together to do.

You are not forgotten.

🇺🇸 A Memorial Day Reminder 🇺🇸

As parades, ceremonies, and moments of remembrance take place across our nation, let us remember what this day truly asks of us.

When the American Flag 🇺🇸 passes by, please stand. Remove your hat. Place your right hand over your heart. Pause your conversations. Veterans may render a hand salute.

These small acts matter.

They teach our children that the flag is not just fabric — it carries the memory of those who served, sacrificed, and never returned home.

Memorial Day is not simply the start of summer. It is a solemn day of remembrance for the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

At Taps for Veterans, we honor that promise through 24 notes — sounded live, with dignity, reverence, and gratitude.

May we never forget.

24 Notes. One Final Promise.
