LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Amount of Veterans Day Parade Spectators 'Disgusting'
Letter to the editor by 16-year-old Brandon Leavitt.
Our veterans are some of the most important people in our country. They faced horrors and threats we think only exists in movies. They have heard things, seen things, and done things we could never bear to do. The absolute least thing we could do for them is respect them. We need to show them that we care about what they have done for us. Above all else, we need to appreciate them. A while ago, I went to see the Veterans Day parade. I was shocked, appalled, and horrified to see that only perhaps fifty people came to show their appreciation by even watching. The scouts came to march in the parade, and a marching band marched with the veterans, but other than that, no one else came to the parade. A veteran walked past us with an incredibly …

Great comments Brandon and I like Cynthia McDonald's idea too. Maybe it is something you could run with and get community service credits as well. I always felt Veteran's Day was a "half-baked" holiday. I absolutely do not mean that as any disrespect to our veteran's. It is directed to those who designate the holidays. If we are going to have a holiday as important as a tribute to our Veterans, … more ›
