Interesting. When I went to my granddaughters school yesterday for veterans appreciation day, there were a couple of elementary school students that went through the history behind Veterans Day.

SGT John " Mac " McConnell agreed. They had a great program for veterans that were related to students there. They had a great response from veterans too.
