Thank You to All Our Veterans

11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. 

Armistice Day; the day The Great War, The War to End All Wars ended. It is fitting that we honor our veterans on this day.

In class yesterday we discussed Kristallnacht and watched some survivors' videos. Then listened to stories from WWII veterans; men and women that fought for something beyond themselves and their country. "Freedom" and "liberty" were words these veterans used frequently in their stories. All our veterans have a story. All our veterans deserve a "Thank you."
