Veterans’ Day honors the brave men and women, living and dead, who have fought America’s battles, past and present. It is the perfect time to talk with students about patriotism, love of country, bravery, courage, and what it means to be veteran. It’s a time to show gratitude and appreciation for all the living soldiers who serve our country, during war or in time of peace.
Here is a special Prayer to Honor Our Veterans
