This weekend, we honor our nation's veterans by remembering their service to our country and thanking them for their tremendous self-sacrifice. We spent time learning about the importance of this holiday and what it truly represents.
Here's the thing: Most of us won't ever have to pick between our lives and what we love the most, like family and friends, but we all have a choice to care deeply about something - something greater than ourselves. Veterans are heroes. They show us that living a great life means being ready to take chances - believing in things, staying committed, and loving others, even if it means taking some risks. Today and every day, let's choose to honor our veterans by choosing to live for the things that they would die for: for our families, for one another, and for our country; for freedom, for justice, and for peace.
Students in The Hive wrote some very heartfelt letters to veterans expressing their gratitude and respect for their selflessness and sacrifice. These letters will be delivered to the American Legion Post 227 in Middleton this weekend. For those of you who are interested attending Boxford's Veterans Day ceremony, you can find details below.
