Veteran's Day-This year it is personal @ PSHS


Tomorrow's honor procession recognizing PSHS' own hero, Andrew Meari will certainly provide ample opportunity for Veteran's Day and "war hero" discussions. For those of you seeking additional resources, here are some good ones:

The History Channel

A Picture Story and American Remembers Its Veterans (2 different slide shows)on MSNBC
Remembering War’s Costs, Around the Globe is a slideshow from The Wall Street Journal.

EL Civics has a lesson for ELL students - Makes a good intro to the day and the military.
THE BEST in my opinion
National Geographic has a film called Arlington: Field of Honor-A tour of one of America's most sacred places. Explore its hallowed history in this powerful portrait (there is a very brief commercial prior to the film)
