Veterans Celebrated by First Grade Students

In Mrs. Geran's class, the students wrote in their journals about something important to them.  Two students wrote about their grandparents.  Their stories were so heartfelt, I
wanted to share them with you.

My grandpa was in the army and he drived a gasoline truck.  He helped our state be safe for our country.  I felt happy.

My grandpa served our country. He was a marine. He was awarded a star and brave. He jumped out of a helicopter and broke his bone but he still saved him (another soldier). That's how he won his Purple Heart.
