Today Logan's school, Hage Elementary, hosted military members for their Friday opening. Luckily Sean's schedule allowed his to attend and he even dug to the back of the closet to find his "charlies" since the Marine Corps does not allow working uniforms (camouflage and flight suits) off base.

They had girl scouts present colors, said the pledge, one student sang The Star-Spangled Banner (in front of easily 400 people!), and the advanced band students even performed for us! They then called all the active duty, prior military, and spouses of deployed military to come up in front.

Every child in the school wrote a thank you letter to military personnel and then grade level, by grade level they called each up and they chose who to give their letters too. Some kids had parents that were there others did not and just picked someone to say "Thank You" to.

It is awe inspiring that the school has taken SO much of their time this week, preparing this celebration, writing letters, and inviting all these military members. So I want to say THANK YOU, Hage Elementary for educating and instilling patriotism into these children!
What a wonderful way to celebrate our men and women in uniform! Love it and I LOVE your kiddos!
