In preparation of Veteran’s Day my daughter’s school hosted veterans at the school last week. The father of another first grader even came into her class to talk about his time in the Army. K was very excited about having a veteran in her class, but after asking her a few questions it was clear that she really had very little understanding of what a veteran was.

Clearly, I needed to correct that problem, and this was the perfect opportunity.

We began to talk about the military and the various branches, what it meant to serve our country and why we are proud of veterans.  I was honored to tell her about her great-grandfather who served as an Army pilot in WWII. She was thrilled to learn that her Pop-Pop served in the Air Force. And she was surprised to learn that her cousin is a Marine.

The only military family member she remembered is another cousin currently serving overseas as a Marine Fighter Pilot. Jarod and his friends made quite an impression on her at his wedding in May. Especially when his Navy Seal buddy gave her his Navy Seal pin. I just about fell over when he took it off her jacket and gave it to her — she was so fascinated with his medals and he was so sweet explaining them all to her.

After talking about all of the special people in our lives who have given their service to our country and what that means she said, “Oh, that’s you always shake hands with people you see in uniform and we tell them, ‘thank you.'”

Yes K, that’s why we always thank those we see in uniform. Every time.
