Veterans Program

Today Todd and I had the day off for Veterans Day. Harleigh's school was having a Veterans program to honor Veterans. She had brought home a letter a week ago inviting any Veterans to come to the program so Todd figured since he had the day off he would go for the branch of the military he was in, the Air Force.

It was really a neat program. Several Veterans were there from the VFW. They had the gym decorated. They had a couple of videos talking about Veterans Day and two of the children gave talks. We had a moment of silence at 11:11. Each of the grades sang a song about America. It was really a neat way to honor Veterans Day. The Veterans then lined up in the hallway and the kids came out and shook their hands and told them thank you.

After that they invited the Veterans to the classes to talk to the children and then to eat lunch with the children in the cafeteria. I thought it was really a neat way for their school to honor Veterans. They put a lot of time and effort into making it a nice program to honor those that have served our country.
