Veterans Day

We are off school on Monday to honor our War Veterans. On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month a silent moment was observed in 1919. Since then  Veterans Day, a legal holiday, is dedicated to American Veterans of all wars.
               Do you know anyone that is a soldier? Or someone who is no longer here that was special to you?  Give their name and reasons why you remember him.

  20. I remember my great grandfather was in one of the world wars and he lost his legs, so one day he was home alone and busted his head on the bathroom sink and bled to death. Also my little brother saw him in our basement smiling and we think he was watching over us and protecting us from the evil man who was haunting my basement. Also I wish my mom would come back to Joliet because she moved away because my dad caught her cheating so they are going through a divorce.
