Feedback from teachers:

• This will be perfect for my small group on November 11. Thanks.
• Great article. I'm a big fan of your products! My kids are always engaged and challenged with the activities you provide. Most of all, they are learning!!! Thank you!
• I needed a quick text to go over Veterans day, and this did exactly that. It even made my students curious to do some of their own independent research....especially about the tomb. They thought that was really interesting.
• This year I did not plan anything for Veterans Day. This resource was great in a pinch. It is NO prep and is very informative for students.
