It seems like people forget that throughout the year. The veterans enjoyed the curiosity of the students. It makes you feel appreciated, it's kind of hard to explain. While the middle school has a long history of observing Veterans Day, Sugar Grove Elementary previously only held a moment of silence at the end of the school day. However, fifth-grade teacher and veteran Randy Allen decided the school should do more.
Most people are unaware of what it's like in the rest of the world.
In addition to having color guard members present the American flag before the national anthem, Allen invited each student to bring any relative who served in the armed services. The response was overwhelming with more than 70 veterans attending the event. I thought we'd just have about 10 people show up. More than anything, Veterans Day is about remembering the past and acknowledging those who died to protect the future, said Gordon Sutton, who served during the Korean and Vietnam wars. We need to remember the things that happened, the people that have died to make America.
