Friday November 10th was Trego School’s usual Veteran’s Day lunch. As in previous years, there was food, a musical performance by the students, an opportunity for the students to say “What Veteran’s Day means to me”, and some words from some folks that had served.
The students performed the song “Thank a Veteran”, unexpectedly acapella as technical difficulties ended the accompaniment almost immediately. The students handled the change so well that it wasn’t immediately apparent that it wasn’t planned.
If you’re not familiar with the song- here’s a youtube version:
I missed Jim Carlton’s inspirational speech from last year, and the part where each student sought out a veteran to give a card to, but it was still very cute. There were some new faces in the crowd as well.
