Arick Close who just returned from Iraq, visited GGB on Friday
afternoon, the school where he taught before going off to war. He
shared his experiences of life in the Marines and also took part in
a memorial service held in front of the school. Students sang
patriot songs and welcomed him back.

Arick will return to teaching the first of the year.

In the photo he is being thanked by an unidentified student who
shows her appreciation by shaking hands with him.
