GRADUATES IN UNIFORM
One of those receiving a diploma Sunday at Jay County High School’s commencement exercises proudly wore his Air Force uniform rather than the traditional cap and gown.
Airman Zachary B. Emerick came home on a 72-hour leave to take part in graduation. He had completed his high school education and entered basic training back in January.
In March, Emerick graduated from basic training at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas.
He also earned credits toward an associate’s degree through Community College of the Air Force.
He’s the son of Brook and Lisa Emerick, Portland.

The support group is free and open to the public. For more information, phone (800) 584-9853.
