Veteran’s DAY!
We are a military family.
Army & Navy.
We have heard stories from WWII to Korea to today.
Great Grandpa’s, Grandpa’s, Dad’s, cousins, sons, daughter-in-law…
WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!
In MY classroom
I spend a lot of time discussing MY SON
ACTIVE US NAVY…
and why it is SOOO important to say
“THANK YOU” for their service.
He is currently on deployment…
He was married to an active military US NAVY wife,
AND they had …MY GRANDDAUGHTER!
( She is sooooo cute!)
But he left them behind to live on a ship and PROTECT US!
So how can we say THANK YOU?
We send letters, pictures, stories, and cutsie art projects.
And this MOMMY sends BOXES of COOKIES! 🙂
I try to send things at least once a month.
This month’s ideas…
( Pinterest is GREAT FOR THIS! )
Let’s Talk Turkey
Next Month…… DECEMBER CRAFTIVITIES
Just a little something to remind them of
All of us at home who CARE!
When my son is no longer on a ship…
we send things to friends & family who are
ACTIVE soldiers & sailors.
AND
We send things to the local Veteran’s HOSPITAL.
All who serve and who have served…deserve a THANK YOU!
I searched GOOGLE for a local VA Hospital address…
takes a little searching, but time WELL spent!
ALL will appreciate it.
Parents who cannot ( or are not) with their own kids
appreciate a little art project or note from a child, any child.
A little smile, a little laugh, a warm fuzzy from home.
No need to put names on them.
Here are a few addresses …
To those Veteran’s ( active or inactive )
AND THEIR FAMILIES …
THANK YOU!
Happy Veteran’s Day!
