Sienna Crossing Elementary put on an incredible Veteran's Day program! However, the icing on the cake was that Elijah's Pawpaw (my Dad) was able to attend. It is amazing what a Pawpaw and a Nana will do when Elijah asks. :)
Checking in
We are good to go
My favorite Veteran!
We went inside before the program started so my Dad could see his poster that Elijah help me make. Elijah didn't want him to see it till the program.
The hallways were lined with so many Veteran posters, pictures, artwork, and writing that the kids had done.
Love this picture of my Mom and Dad!
Elijah all dressed up and ready to sing
The 3rd graders sang a song where each branch of the military was introduced & that branches theme song was sung. Here is my Dad standing up when the Air Force was introduce.
After the program, all the veteran's and their spouses had a catered lunch provided by the school (the entire staff) and the PTO. If any of the students had a Veteran in attendance, they were able to have lunch with them. Elijah really enjoyed having lunch with these two.

Elijah is blessed to have had both of his grandfathers proudly serve this great country. Byron's brother, James Blake Polk also served 10 years in the US Army. He was active duty for 8 months for Desert Shield and Desert Storm.
On my Mom's side of her family there were 7 family members who served. And on my Dad's side of his family, there were 12 family members who served.
