1st and 2nd grade students at Legacy Christian Academy and Dave's Creek elementary partner with SboutFace USA and demonstrated Support for veterans by purchasing backpack and sock for homeless veterans. One student said, "Appreciation is thanking them and Support is making a sacrifice for them." Smart kid don't you think?

Smart enough to realize, even at that young age, actions speak volumes yet words are greatly appreciated. Terrific story!

Thanks for highlighting what the 1st and 2nd grade students at Legacy Christian Academy and Dave's Creek elementary partner with AboutFace USA and demonstrated Support for veterans by purchasing backpack and sock for homeless veterans. In answer to your question "What is the difference between Appreciation and Support"
We feel and attempt to show appreciation and we offer support Sgt Joe LaBranche.
Appreciation is for a moment and may not be appreciated by the one we are attempting to bless.
Support on the other hand makes sense only when it is tangible and obvious. Support is for a season which can last a lifetime.

Well I am impressed. Very well put. 1st & 2d graders are a lot smarter these days than I ever was at that age.

More children need to be taught the difference and to appreciated those that made this country safe for them and theirs.
