Veteran's Day

Veterans Day

By Taylor Weinman
Representing the red white and blue

The colors of our flag stand out proud and true.

The white stars on blue background with red and white stripes

Remind me of these veterans, who all risked their lives.

Just so the people of the U.S. could all live in peace and be free

These are the heroes that represent you and me.

They stood up strongly, untied as one,

And kept up the fighting until they were done.

And although some have fallen, and lost their lives in war,

We pray for each one of them.

And now that their souls live on forever more,

Above in God's hands.

They watch over our nation,

And give us strength to triumph over others with strong anticipation.

So every year, when this day comes by,

Think of all the veterans that while fighting, had to die.

And remember that they were people

With fire and passion embedded inside.

They die for this country,

So remember and honor them with pride


This morning we had a breakfast for the local Veterans.


This was my station and personally I think it was the best. I was blessed to be able to greet them, thank them, and hand out a pin to them.


The tables were decorated for them.


They seemed to enjoy it.



We then had an assembly, here the Principal is reading their name, branch, years served, family member that is with them.


They would stand when their name was called.


At the end of all the names being called everyone broke into applause to show their gratitude


The 5th and 6th graders sang many songs during the assembly


At the end the Veterans stood


While the kids clapped and shouted "Thank You"


The kids were then dismissed...Roo heading back to class


Isaiah heading back to class

I really enjoyed the ceremony and the chance it gave me to say my Thanks today. They are our heroes and in my prayers daily. I also feel that today is not the only day we should give our thanks, it should be year round. God Bless America! : )
