Monday,
November 12, 2018:
The Brainerd Honor Guard was getting ready for Veterans Day ceremonies at Riverside Elementary School. Veterans Day was on a Sunday this year so they held this event on Monday. |
 |
|
The flag was presented, then the Pledge of Allegiance was led by Uncle
Sam. |
 |
|
The students sang patriotic songs. |
 |
 |
 |
|
They also gave speeches about what it means to be an American. |
 |
|
A local soldier brought his wife and spoke about life in the military.
Very interesting. |

The Youngsters thanked the Guard for being a part of the day. They are called Honor Guards when serving at funerals, and Color Guards when presenting the flag at public functions. |
Quote of the day:
A patriotic day. Mark
