There was an engaging discussion about the meaning of Veterans Day, we discussed what it means to be a veteran...that you served in a branch of the miltary. We discussed what the branches of the US miltary are. This was all the warm up for the question of... Why would someone, leave their family, sleep in a tent or barracks, risk their life...to protect our coutnry? To protect us? The students had some very thoughtful answers:
- To protect and serve
- Because they love their country
- Because they want to keep us free
- Because they are brave
- Because they put others first
- To protect us
We then sang the Star Spangled Banner.
Here are some photos of the special assembly:
