Steve and I decided we wanted to do a Veterans' Day Tribute this year with our chorus club instead of a Christmas program...it was the most incredible experience...the kids worked so hard to learn all the songs...the picture above is during "The Salute to the Armed Forces"...We did 3 programs with standing room only...we had 3 Star General Baca come to one of our performances...He told the kids that he had attended several programs/tributes throughout his years in the service and nothing came close to what they performed that day...We did a Tribute Wall with over 200 pictures of Veterans...It was so incredible to see the kids looking at all the pictures...parents and everyone that came to our school during the month of November walked through the hall...there was such a reverance ...
General Baca also brought a flag made by a prisoner of war...he told the kids the story and how the soldier found the materials to make the flag...words can't explain the feeling we all had as he shared this experience...something our kids and all of us will never forget...
