Army medic surprises siblings at Veterans Day assembly

Memphis, seated in the audience at Pinedale Elementary School (PES), and Gracelyn, performing with the choir on stage, both raised their hands along with other schoolmates when asked about family members actively serving in the United States military. The siblings were then called up onto the stage, where they explained their older sister, Preslie, a graduate of the Sublette County school system, enlisted in the army in June 2020. As they described the distance separating them from their sister, Spc. Mecham looked on from backstage, waiting for the right moment to make her appearance.
