Video: Students Share 'Thank You' Notes with Visiting Veterans
Each year, the American Legion Post 10 organizes a parade of veteran members to visit all MCPS schools. The veterans parade the schools' bus loops, which are lined with students waving flags, cheering and holding signs and letters of support and gratitude.
According to Melissa Neal, Social Studies Content Specialist for the school division, this is the fourth year the school system has joined forces with the local legion post to bring the veterans to the schools. "Every school participates and does something a little bit different to show their appreciation," Neal said.
