Ms. Grant’s Class, Speakers 6-14
6. (Gabe) We will now share a poem with you called “Veterans Day”, by Jessica Hawkins.
7. (Samir) Veterans are brave men and women who are still alive today.
8. (Hannah) We thank them for their service,
And the price they chose to pay.
9. (Nahomi) Each day we live in freedom
And our memory must not fade.
10. (Marcelino) The reason for this freedom
Comes from sacrifices made.
11. (Ali) So we celebrate our veterans
On the eleventh of November.
12. (Jackson) We thank them for their courage
And pledge always to remember.
13. (Dylan) If you are a Veteran in our audience today, please stand so we may honor you. (Wait until clapping ends.) You may be seated.
14. (Mai) We love our flag and what it symbolizes. The red stands for courage, the white for liberty, and the field of blue for justice. We will now sing You’re a Grand Old Flag.
You’re a Grand Old Flag (Music K-8, Vol. 4, No. 5)
