I’m taking a little break from sharing out about my classroom today so I can share a few pictures and thoughts about the big event from my weekend–greeting the airplane from my father’s “Honor Flight” trip to Washington D.C. For those of you who are unaware of this amazing program, I encourage you to visit their website to learn more about what is being done to honor our veterans.

Here he is with my sister Deb–his “guardian” for the trip. Can’t lie. I was jealous. |
It was a long day for the 100 soldiers–all of whom are in the mid to late 80’s. They were at the airport at 4:30 and returned to their heroes welcome after 9 pm . . . and had toured the monuments and more in DC throughout the day. It was an incredibly moving experience for all involved. Thanks for letting me share . . .
