[QUOTE="wthorson, post: 379558, member: 12867"] Ron, I totally agree, my students are getting a great education about the "heroes". These kids are only 10, 11, and 12, but they are learning about the founding of our country and about the true heroes. I was so surprised that my students had never even heard about WWII, and all of the devastation of that time. It was awesome though, Moab Man came to school with his uniform on from when he was in the Air Force, and spoke to the class about the service that he did for our country. MM happened to be in Germany when the "Berlin Wall" fell. He had pieces of the wall and told the children about the circumstances of that terrible time. That was the most wonderful lesson that the students have had this year and maybe for their entire school career. It brought a new perspective to the children about true heroes. My students know what a true hero does and I can imagine some of my students becoming heroes themselves. [/QUOTE]
