The goal of Meet A Veteran Day at Janesville School was to say Thank You For Your Service to our local Veterans and encourage direct communication between the students and the Veterans. I'm proud to announce the event was a success and here's what success looks like...

| The Veterans and I salute the flag. |

| Katie, a student at Janesville ROCKED the Star Spangled Banner. |

| A Janesville Student Body Officer read a Never Forget message explaining the symbolism of the POW/MIA table. |
 |
| Janesville Students listened to their questions being read by Student Officers then waited patiently for the Veterans answers. |
Thanks to the Veterans who answered the students questions. Some were family members of Janesville Students.
Corporal Barron, fresh from Afghanistan brought some of his gear for the students to see and try on.
From the students I have had a chance to talk to, they loved hearing the answers the Veterans gave to their questions. One student's question directed to the Navy asked if they'd ever been swimming in the water and what kind of fish they saw. The answer was quite fascinating as the Navy man was in charge of retrieving a torpedo and just before he and his men got into the water the ship signaled there were SHARKS! Luckily, they retrieved the torpedo and no one was hurt.
I hope to make Meet A Veteran Day an annual event at Janesville School. I would like to thank Subway and Janesville Parent Teacher Organization for helping to sponsor the event. I would also like to say thank you to my friends, Sheri D., Tawyna M., Donna K., Shannon M., Delia B. Kanani, Amanda M., Janesville Student Body, and the Janesville Faculty. Meet A Veteran Day was a success because of all of you.
Lastly, I would like to say to ALL Active Duty and Veterans THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!
