    High Plains Community students young and old gathered in one place Thursday to honor local heroes. 
    HPC hosted its annual Veterans Day program with plenty of local heroes present, taking a moment from a busy day to stop, reflect and honor. 
    The HPC high school band played “America the Beautiful” while Nathan Ertzner played “God Bless the USA” on his guitar. Fellow student Alyssa Wostrel sang the National Anthem as part of the ceremony.
