Veterans Day Preschool Resources

Veterans Day provides us with a fantastic opportunity to show our appreciation
for those who are serving and those have served our country.
​There are many ways to honor the Veterans in your lives and Community:

• Many of the Children in your care may have parents or relatives who are Veterans. You may want to throw a celebration and invite their loved ones to show you appreciate their service.
• You may want to take the Children on a Field trip to a retirement community to pass out "Thank-You's" to the Veterans who reside there.
• Consider Creating a Group Mural that you can hang in your community (Library, Business, etc.)
• Consider creating Cards that can be mailed to Veterans or given to the clients to mail out to their loved ones who have served.

"Veterans Day" by Jacqueline S. Cotton Explains the history of Veterans Day and why it is observed, and suggests ways of honoring veterans on this special day, such as flying the flag, attending parades, buying poppies, and visiting hospitals.

Veterans: Heroes in Our Neighborhood by Valerie Pfundstein is an engaging rhyming picture book for readers of all ages that fosters mindfulness of and appreciation for the brave service men and women who are also our family, friends, and neighbors.  These are the men and women who bravely served our great country and now humbly serve in our communities. 

H is for Honor: a Military Family Alphabet by Devin Scillian is Written by the son of a career officer, this book explores the branches of the Armed Services and speaks from the heart about the honor, privileges and sacrifices of military families everywhere. Children will discover why drill sergeants have to be so tough, what it means to be patriotic and why we need Special Forces such as the Navy SEALS, the Green Berets and the Army Rangers. H is for Honor also explains why the annual Army/Navy football game is more than just a game, how much letters from home mean to soldiers, how often military families have to move and what life on base is like. With an underlying message of courage and commitment that every child can relate to, the book will be especially meaningful to those whose parents, siblings or other relatives serve in the Armed Forces.
