TUESDAY, November 11 “Never Forget: Honoring Those Who Served” (VETERANS DAY)
Veterans Day is the day set aside to thank and honor ALL those who served honorably in the military. both in wartime and peacetime. Veterans Day is especially intended to thank LIVING veterans for their service, to acknowledge that their contributions to our national security are appreciated, and to underscore the fact that ALL those who served- not only those who died have sacrificed and done their duty.
World War I was called “the War to end all wars,” but in 1939, World War II broke out in Europe and shattered that dream. Korea, Vietnam, and Beyond (Desert Storm, Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Iraq) have all followed.
Veterans Day is a day for patriotism. Do your students really understand what it means to be free? Do they know the true meaning of the form of government we call democracy? Do they realize that young men and women throughout the past two centuries have fought and given their lives to protect our way of life? Do they understand that they might be expected to do the same?
This videoconference offers your students an opportunity to appreciate the past and honor those who have fought to preserve our way of life. This videoconference will feature interviews with local veterans with a variety of experiences in war. During this 45 minute videoconference session, 15-20 minutes will be allocated for student questions.
