I had no school today but had to go help my father at work. I saw a few former Marines that had work today.
Sorry I havent posted in my own thread, I just got home from work today. I see a lot of your points about children going to school and having a structured arena for them to learn specifically about the purpose of the day. However, many towns such as mine have a parade as well as festivities during the day. Many of me and my friends as kids would go to the parade and the vets would have a bbq at the local American Legion post and the teens would all go and hang with them. Honestly, most of them snuck us booze but I learned a lot just listening to their stories. I don't know if other towns do this where you live, but if so and school is in session during a parade the parent should be able to excuse their child without an absence attatched to their record.
my thoughts.

@Marine but surely you earn way more than 'Laquisha'?
School here in Illinois. Veterans day for a Holiday disappeared this year. Shame Shame.

The board of education voted that school should be open for Veterans Day. I think we should re-evaluate other holidays as well in that case.

Rememberance day should be more heavily celebrated and have a greater public awareness than Christmas.
It's a fairly internationally recognised day and tbh, is far more relevant and worthy of marking than Christmas.

Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.
