Elementary School Says Goodbye to Mr. Wagner

Students at Fort Calhoun Elementary gathered Friday afternoon to wish Mr. Wagner well as he heads overseas to serve our Country. He is a first sergeant for the Mission Support Group at the Air National Guard in Sioux City, Iowa’s 185th Air Refueling Wing. The students surprised him by waving flags, chanting Mr Wagner, and making signs showing their gratitude. The local fire department even had one of their trucks with an American Flag hanging overhead. Thank you Mr. Wagner for your service!
