Our local VFW presented a short program to the whole elementary school on Veteran's Day. We learned that veterans are people who have served our country in the Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, and National Guard.
We all stood in honor of our flag as the veterans came into the gym.
We all joined in saying the Pledge of Allegiance.
The 5th grade choir sang for us, and we watched a slide show showing pictures of friends and relatives of people in our school who are veterans. Our principal, Mrs. Giese, who is a veteran, reminded us all to "Thank a Vet!"
