In October, Mr. Brad Blanchard, with the help of several veterans and community service members, taught us about the history of the United States flag, flag etiquette, and how to fold the United States flag in a ceremony. (Here's a flag-folding tutorial on youtube.)
On Veterans Day, David Knuth (Navy veteran) and Greg Smith (Army veteran) spoke to us about their experiences in the armed forces. Afterward, several students practiced looking the men in the eyes, shaking their hands, and saying, "Thank you for your service."
Our class is grateful for the men and women who not only volunteered their time to visit our classroom but who volunteered to serve our country in the armed forces. We thank you, as well as all veterans, for your service to the United States of America.
