We had a Veterans Day ceremony at school yesterday, and the Marines recruiter who has worked with many of my students (I have three seniors who have completed MEPS already) was the guest speaker.

There were two parts of his speech I liked best: 1. To appreciate the "silence" provided by the armed forces of America—many areas of the world aren't so fortunate. 2. "Service" is a word we don't use as often as we should, along with a challenge for the students to find their way to it, whether through the military, police, firefighting, teaching, healthcare, etc. or volunteerism in the community.


Happy Veterans Day to all that served.
