November 11th is a day to show respect to Veterans. It also gives us the opportunity to teach our kids to pay tribute to the brave men and women who have served or are serving in the military, risking their lives daily to protect our freedom.
if you’d like to thank a Veteran, but feel unsure about where to begin, consider attending a Veterans Day parade or event in our area. Standing, cheering and clapping for Veterans marching past is great way to show our appreciation to those who have served.
