On Veterans Day, students awarded for the core values of respect and responsibility had the privilege of hearing from Purple Heart recipient Lieutenant Clarence Singleton. The lieutenant’s life of bravery and selflessness is admirable. He is not only a retired United States Marine and Vietnam War veteran, but also a decorated former New York City Firefighter, whose unit responded to the first attack on the World Trade Center in 1993.  After retiring from the FDNY in 2000, he continued to serve and volunteered for duty on September 11, 2001, at the World Trade Center. Thanks to Singleton’s dedication, numerous lives have been saved. On Friday, November 11, Midlothian was honored to have Purple Heart Medal recipient Lieutenant Clarence Singleton speak to students who also share his core values of respect and responsibility. His words will resonate with them for years to come.
