Veteran's Day Program

Franklin participated in a Veteran's Day program at school put together by the 4th and 5th graders. He was so excited and practiced his songs faithfully at home for at least a month. The program was really neat! I've heard people from my parents' generation talk about how the men who served in Vietnam were treated so poorly when they came off of the planes here in the U.S. It breaks my heart that people were so cruel. Both my father and father-in-law served in the military, as well as several of Tommie & I's grandfathers. The program not only recognized veterans, but really & truly thanked them for their service and honored them. It brought tears to everyone's eyes... I am so proud of Franklin!
