We Honor All Veterans of Today and Yesterday

Does it seem overly used to say how thankful I am for all of the Veterans who are currently serving or have served in the service to protect us from harm?  I remember hearing about my dad training seal divers in WWII and thinking, Wow, he was serving to help our side win............I don't think there's been a time in my lifetime where there hasn't been fighting.  That in itself is really sad.  What is even sadder is that so many in this generation don't get the importance of honoring these Veterans who gave so much of themselves for their country. 
   As I was talking to my students about all of this they finally GOT it that mom or dad would be gone for a long period of time.  While they were gone they could be hurt or killed at any minute.  You didn't know if they'd come home or not................I can't imagine living with that.  I know it goes on all of the time but I can't imagine it. 
  Makes me want to find a family to help that's in that situation, you know?  At any rate, I want my students to know that this is an important day that should never be forgotten.

 Check out this video and the words to this song by Mark Harris, called The Creed.

It's time for sleep, I just wanted to pop in to let you know I'm still here and will show some projects very soon.
Blessings,
