Re: To the veterans

I did my time during the Vietnam conflict. My hat's off to those that served and are currently serving in the middle east.

Re: To the veterans

We had a Veteran's Day program at the school I teach at yesterday. It was great to see middle school students perform to honor the veterans. We then have a meal for the veterans and ask any that wish to, to go into classrooms and talk to our students. I had two gentlemen that are retired from the Air Force. While they spoke my 8th graders sat in their desks with their eyes focused on every word these gentlemen said. After they finished, I watched as each of my students walked up to these two veterans and either shook their hand or hugged them, looked them in the eye and said "THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE." It brought tears to my eyes. I will say it all the veterans on here. Thank You for your service!

It's VERY good to hear that some schools are putting forth the effort to honor veterans and in turn, teaching children to honor veterans. Thanks for sharing!

I had the opportunity to speak at daughters Jr High School on Veterans Day a few years back, and it really was a blessing to me.

Thank you. People weren't in the same frame of mind when I was in as they are now. It's nice to hear a few kind words.

Re: To the veterans

Thanks. Having just retired, it feels really weird, but I'm enjoying not having to leave my family anymore.

Maybe next year I'll even get to work on my Blazer.

Re: To the veterans

Thank you to all of you Vets who served, and especially those who gave the ultimate sacrifice....for our FREEDOM!

By the way, our High School hosts a Veterans celebration each year, this year there were over 100 Vets there.
