Veteran's Day Celebration 4th and 5th Grade

Veteran's day at Kennedy school is a great chance to learn about real live veterans up close and personal.  You can learn so much! like what it was like to be in a war or battle. One of the veterans had a story about an orphanage. They had no running water at the orphanage so they would have to send two kids to get water from a well. When the vet came he saw the kids carrying the water and helped them. And kept coming back to help them. And one of the times he saw a little girl in one corner of the room and said "Lati! Lati!" which means come here come here. When the little girl didn't come to him he came to her and eventually when he came again she was just waiting for him, so when he said "Lati! Lati!" she would run over him and sit on his knee.
