Veterans Day Studies at the Kerr Cougar Library

All of our students enjoyed watching the "History of Veterans Day" video published by the History Channel or listening to Ms. Sloggett read a nonfiction book about Veterans Day. We were lucky enough to have plenty of books about armor, military equipment and transportation, and veterans to go around for the last couple of weeks.

Our PE teacher, Sgt. Bodden  and Corporal Nease, Ms. Sloggett's son-in-law, let us display their dress uniforms. Mr. Bodden's is the green Army coat on the left and Mr. Nease's is the black Marine coat on the right. The students were extremely impressed with the medals these heroes earned while in the service of their country.

Students learned how to recognize a veteran, why Veterans Day is important, and how to thank a veteran. Many students shook hands with Mr. Bodden and another veteran who works at our Kerr, Captain Johnson.

Several of our students attended the Veterans Day Parade held in Tulsa on Tuesday, November 11th. We wish to thank all veterans for their service and we are proud to have them represent our country.
