Veteran’s Day 2009
Make a Smilebox slideshow |
Today the students of Laurelville Elementary paid tribute to our veterans. Mrs. Barnes, our music teacher, did an EXCELLENT job of working with the Laurelville students to prepare for this assembly. We were honored to have the Color Guard from AMVETS Post 2256 present to show the posting of colors, display the flag of each branch of our military, and play “Taps” at the end of the service. Grades 3-6 did a wonderful job of singing “American Tears” with the help of Leigh Davis (Miss Jo’s daughter and former Logan Elm graduate) as well as the songs of each military branch. Sixth grade students also played hand chimes with the singing of our national anthem and our student leadership team contributed with speaking parts. Many veterans were in attendance (men and women, young and old!) and were recognized by the military branch they served. It was a wonderful assembly and I hope our veterans know how much we appreciate their dedication and service!
I think it was nice that the people did the taps and everything else
I am glad that all the veterans that came is still alive. But still they would of died for our country and not for fun.
I like how you made the pictures from the assembly into a show.
The veterans are really strong to do something like that.My grandpa has served and he did not go because he hated the thoughts that cross his head when he thinks about it.
My grandpa served in the Army I told him come and he say yes, he didn’t come
