Our grandchildren attend Warsaw Elementary School. With yesterday being Veteran's Day (in the USA) the school wanted to honor those veterans related to children attending the school. The turnout was good. Following a free breakfast, we entered the gymnasium where special seating was arranged for the veterans. The children sang patriotic songs and the principal spoke to the children on the importance of remembering and honoring those who serve to protect our country. Each veteran was announced individually and the children to whom they were related also stood with their personal veteran. Javin and Chanelle were very proud of their "Poppy" who served in the Second World War. We also remembered privately their other Great Grandpa who left us this year and was also a WW II Veteran.
