Veteran's Day provides us with an fantastic opportunity to show our appreciation
for those who are serving and those have served our country.
There are many ways to honor the Veterans in your lives and Community:
  • Many of the Children in your care may have parents or relatives who are Veterans. You may want to throw a celebration and invite their loved ones to show you appreciate their service.
  • You may want to take the Children on a Field trip to a retirement community to pass out "Thank-You's" to the Veterans who reside there.
  • Consider Creating a Group Mural that you can hang in your community (Library, Business, etc.)
  • Consider creating Cards that can be mailed to Veterans or given to the clients to mail out to their loved ones who have served.
Below you can find: Veterans Day Books Recommendations. Activities, Printables and
Free Resources that you can use with the children in your care to honor those who have served.

H is for Honor: a Military Family Alphabet by Devin Scillian is Written by the son of a career officer, this book explores the branches of the Armed Services and speaks from the heart about the honor, privileges and sacrifices of military families everywhere. Children will discover why drill sergeants have to be so tough, what it means to be patriotic and why we need Special Forces such as the Navy SEALS, the Green Berets and the Army Rangers. H is for Honor also explains why the annual Army/Navy football game is more than just a game, how much letters from home mean to soldiers, how often military families have to move and what life on base is like. With an underlying message of courage and commitment that every child can relate to, the book will be especially meaningful to those whose parents, siblings or other relatives serve in the Armed Forces.
