Veterans Day!

If you missed it yesterday, it was a beautiful day for a parade. Of course, I probably would have had no idea that it was the Veterans Day Parade for the Town of Lexington if my son's Boy Scout Troop wasn't participating, but it was really inspiring. Lexington celebrates a little bit early, with Veterans Day being 11/11/11. The patriotic music and floats with war veterans reminded me just how lucky we are to be living in the United States of America. Our class will spend some time this week talking about the brave people who serve in our military and why it is so important. We will also make a special card for a war veteran to thank him for keeping us safe! If your child tells you that Mrs. Laura told him/her to say thank you to a service member in uniform, that is 100% true. It is really the simplest thing we can do to show our appreciation for their bravery and willingness to commit to the military. Thank You Veterans for your service to our country!
