I put up a bulletin board covered with rows of service banners, one for each former student who is or has been in the military (each banner labeled with a name), and the words "Honoring Those Who Serve" and "Happy Veteran's Day". It currently contains eleven blue star banners (and one gold star banner - my daughter's). We added a small disclaimer at the bottom encouraging people to let us know if we've omitted anyone's name. I also hung a blue star banner in the office, with a list of students' names attached, for the enjoyment of those who don't make it upstairs to the library. For those who want to do the same, a blue star banner graphic can be downloaded at http://www.legion.org/pdf/bluestartban_811.pdf To make one into a gold star banner, you can carefully cut out the blue star with an Xacto knife and then place yellow paper behind the opening. There may be a place to download a gold star banner, too, but I couldn't find one (and I hope none of you need one, anyway!) God bless the troops and send us peace.

Here's a super website to help teachers k-12: http://www.va.gov/kids/ Remember, Veterans Day is different than Memorial Day. This is a time to thank and help those soldiers who have survived war and made it home from putting their time in at war. It's also a good time to thank soldiers currently at war. The VFW (Veterans of Foreign War) is a great place to call if you'd like to find a Veteran that might come to your school. Have you thanked a soldier today? :) Memorial Day is a time to remember and honor those who have died in service to our country.
