I am a high school history teacher in St. Louis and all of my classes will be reading the poem "In Flanders Field" today. I also encourage all of them to make a phone call to a vet, or to take 20 minutes alone (on a walk/in their room/etc) and think about what it means to offer your life for someone else. They really enjoy the poem, and I think they actually DO call/sit silently when they get home. Thanks to all who serve.

I attended a Veteran day function honoring local veterans at our local jr. high school in Aurora. A WW 2 veteran who was on the US Oklahoma at Pearl Harbor, talked to the kids for almost 30 minutes, recounting the events of that day and giving the kids some insight into his life leading up to and during WW2. I didn't know if kids this young would understand what these guys gave up for their country but Every student in that crowd listened intently to what he had to say and gave him and all the attending veterans a long, standing ovation at the conclusion. Needless to say, I am very proud of these kids for the respect they gave these great veterans.
