Veterans Day


Yesterday we were off to observe Veterans Day. A day to honor all our men and women in the Armed Forces. All military soldiers in all areas of our country: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard.
Have you ever wondered why American Soldiers wear the flag patch backwards on just the right side of their arm?
The basic answer is: they are brave!
This flag is symbolic of the men who used to march into battle with an actual flag. So steady and strong that the flag would blow behind them. On the arms of our soldiers, the flag faces as if being carried into battle, blowing behind them.


1. Today tell me about someone special you know that was in the military. Could be a family member; a grand parent or neighbor, anyone you know that was in the military. Or explain why a member of your family is extra special to you.

I believe I have some half cousins and some grandparents in the military. I also think my neighbor was in the army. They helped defend our country in a time of need.

I have many people who have been in the military, and strangely they have all been in the army. The first person I want to talk about is my uncle Mike, he was is Iraq, next I want to talkabout is my great-grandpa Foster Beamsley, he resieved a purple heart, and he was apart of D-Day. Finally I would like to talk about my great-grandpa Don Pille, he was a part of WW2. I wonder if my great-grandfathers know each other?

My Grndpa was in the marines. I think of him as someone special to me because I know he joined for a reason. He wanted to make a difference; not only in his life but in others as well.

1.Well I would have to say my cousine is in the air force hes still serving and rite now he is in Iraq and we can't hardly see him or talk to him because he most likely doesnt have time hes usually buissy and now that hes been there his parents had a little girl and he doesn't know so its more likely a surprise to him and we cant wait to see him.

I have a lot of family members, but one that is very special to me is my mom because she watches out for me, cares for me and keeps me safe. I greatly appreciate her. She is a very independent woman who works hard for what she earns and I love her!
