Showing Appreciation for Our Veterans

Veterans Day is soon approaching.  It is an important day reserved for remembering, honoring, and showing gratitude to our nation's veterans.  A veteran is a person who has served honorably on active duty in the armed forces of the United States.

Below is a short video about the history of Veterans Day:

On Friday, November 7, our school will have a program led by our music teacher, Mrs. Winger, to honor veterans in our community.  Many of our 5th graders are singing,  and all of them are creating a card that will be given to a guest veteran showing our gratitude for their service.  Big jobs!  How do we even begin to say thank you for the gifts they have given to us?

Below are videos that warmed my heart.  Watch one or watch them all.

What are you feeling after watching them?

What would you like to tell a veteran?

In what ways could you thank our veterans?

After watching the videos, create a card showing your appreciation for our veterans.
