Danny looked in his social studies notebook and he reviewed the holiday "Veterans Day," which he studied in November. He refreshed his memory regarding the army, navy, air force, coast guard, and marines. He recollected that Veterans Day is to honor all those who served in the United States military. Memorial Day honors those who died while in military service. We read the book, "Memorial Day" by Sally Speer Leber. Danny then assembled his own take-home book about Memorial Day. He colored each page and read the story. He compared and contrasted Veterans Day and Memorial Day.
