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 a veteran.  CTN encourages each Academy/School to create a Veterans Day Memorial Wall to honor the members of their school, community and parish.

Here is a special  Prayer to Honor Our Veterans
