The craft is fun and easy to make. Pair it with one of the thank you letters for a bulletin board display to honor veterans.

The Veterans Day homework project is a classroom favorite. Your students will talk to their parents about family members, friends, and neighbors who are veterans. They create a “Salute to Veterans” poster that is shared at school and posted on classroom walls. A meaningful way to honor veterans!
