Today I was very excited. I kept on telling my friends about tonight, going on a fieldtrip.
Tonight we went to a Veteran's Memorial and found my neighbor's engraved name.
My mom told me about my Grandpa Rice who was in the Navy. He helped clean up in the Pearl Harbor. I thought it was the most amazing, yet terrifying job.
I found out why we have Veteran's day on 11/11. It's because that's when they signed the treaty of WW1. On November 11 at 11am. Pretty cool huh?
G out!
You have just learned a value History lesson and one you will remember the rest of your life. Pretty good stuff for a 9 yr old guy.
ReplyDeleteWe owe a big debt to our Veterans, for all wars.
