Lincoln Community High School teachers, already assembled for an in-house clinic, had a surprise visitor recently. LCHS grad Sgt. Brad Boss was home for a few brief days. He presented an American flag on behalf of the U.S. Army to Principal Joyce Hubbard, and then he answered a few questions from the floor about his travels to other countries.
Sgt. Boss is crew chief on a Chinook helicopter. They transport troops.

Sgt. Boss has been in all the world’s hot spots, including Kosovo and Afghanistan, since his career began in 1992.  In summary to a question about having visited so many other places, Boss said, “I like America the best.”
His brief presentation sparked deep sentiment and tears spilt from several teachers’ eyes.
