CEAI salutes our veterans!

As a former U.S. History Teacher, one highlight of teaching about the Vietnam War was that I was able to tell the story of my father, a U.S. Navy veteran who survived a very famous attack on his Navy destroyer. His ship is now a floating museum in Washington state, and a few years ago our whole family traveled there with him to spend the night onboard. I certainly grew in appreciation for the cramped quarters our sailors live in daily! But way more important than that was to hear of the courage and sacrifice of our heroic veterans as my dad shared his stories. I came away from that experience even more proud of my dad, his shipmates, and all of our veterans.

If you are a veteran, thank you so much for you service. For the rest of us, let's be sure to appreciate these heroes on Veterans Day and always.

Blessings,
