Honor Capt. Daniel Whitten

 I ask JSCD to consider naming the current Johnston Middle school after U.S. Army Capt. Daniel Whitten. Captain Whitten was a 1999 graduate of Johnston High School and died in the service of his country in Afganistan in February of 2010. This could be done regardless of the election results. If the bond passes, the Wallace Elementary Building could retain its name (Wallace Administration Building) and the current middle school building could be named Whitten Elementary. If the bond fails, the middle school could still be named after Captain Whitten. His life, service and sacrifice should be honored and remembered.
