The rough stone of a new monument at West Henderson High honors those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Students, teachers and community members gathered around it in silence as it was dedicated Tuesday morning.

The memorial honors those fallen heros and emergency services workers who attended West Henderson High. Under the cover of the American flag, families huddled together, crying as principal Shannon Auten held back her own tears Tuesday and thanked them for their sacrifice.

The monument currently displays the name of Chief Warrant Officer Terry Lee Varnadore II, but Sgt. Stephen Baynard, Cpl. Sean Mark Timmons and Pfc. Christian "Kade" Michael Warriner will be added soon. All were honored during the dedication.
