We have a Remembrance Day ceremony to remember all those people that went to war and came back alive, and those who died. We will remember all those soldiers who went to other countries to help fight. We will remember those people who were 18 and 19 who risked their lives to save us. Cailey
We remember all the soldiers who risked their lives to keep our country free. We have to remember, because if your dad was in the war you would remember him. Don't forget the war because people were trying to keep us free. Men and women's friends are gone forever. I feel sad, really sad! Hannah

My Grandpa Jack’s uncles were in the war. They fought in World War 2. Four from my great grandma’s side and three from my great grandpa’s side of the family. My Grandpa’s Uncle Alan had been fighting for some quite some time, he was a gunner in a tank. One day, a man climbed into the tank and to their surprise it was my grandpa’s Uncle Alan’s son, who had later joined the fight and his dad didn’t even know he was in the war too. Jenna Part 1
My grandpa’s brother (my mom’s Uncle Tom) fought in the Korean War. Jenna Part 2
My cousin Jim Clark served in the war in Afghanistan for 8 months. He was a part of the Task Force Orion. Orion stands for “The Hunter.” His home base was at a Kandahar Airfield in a big gravel parking lot. He lived in a huge tent that slept 100 people or more. He would go out for 6 weeks at a time, driving a LAV (Light Armor Vehicle). On day #36 he was heading back to the Kandahar Airfield with his task force when his L.A.V. wouldn’t go into gear, he worked at it for a while and finally got it going. When he got back, he showered and when he pulled back his sheets from his cot, there was a cat and 6 baby kittens in his bed. After being out for 6 weeks, he said the best part of coming back was getting mail. I mailed him letters when he was there. He was lonesome. He said he got mail from people that he didn’t even know with nice notes in them. I was only 4 year old when he was there. My mom would say, “I love you to the moon and back,” and I would say, “I love you to Afghanistan and back.” Jenna Part 3
