My son's second grade class did a program honoring veterans and I thought it was great. I think that some go overboard or don't really get it but if the sentiment is in the right place, it's not a bad thing.Gretchenhttp://www.evrmemories.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23768728.post-91853288686664004942011-06-12T04:04:28.668-04:002011-06-12T04:04:28.668-04:00Memoriam soldiers, who die to keep mens riches saf...Memoriam soldiers, who die to keep mens riches safe.<br /><br />Memoriam soldiers who kill another nations poor so that our poor can breathe easy<br /><br />Memoriam whatever.
