Marshfield High School Student Body President Coby Rost will lead the invocation and Pledge of Allegiance.

The Marshfield High School Band will perform the national anthem, a musical tribute recognizing the military branches, and “God Bless America.”

Retired Master Chief Petty Officer Todd Clark will serve as the featured speaker.

Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe will also be in attendance. Local veterans, their families, and community members are encouraged to attend.

Following the assembly, veterans and their families are invited to enjoy brunch in the Marshfield High School auxiliary gym.
