Veterans Day Festivities

 Kettle Falls had a Veterans Day celebration yesterday.  The Middle School hosted an assembly for all the schools, local veterans and anyone else who wanted to attend (mostly just some parents).  The cub scouts stood at attention while the older scouts brought out the flag and led the pledge.  We ended up sitting right behind Ben at the beginning.  Myranda is actually in that first picture as well, though we had not spotted her yet.


There she is!  (third face from the bottom left)


After the scouts moved back into the bleachers with their classmates there was was singing (Yankee Doodle).


Then it all moved outside for a parade down the main road through town.


It was cold, and not much turn out, but the kids seemed to enjoy it.  We hope everyone has a great Veterans Day this year and thank you to all those who have and are serving our country and protecting our freedom!
