Letter Veterans

6th annual

Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2009 Veteran’s Park, Eden, North Carolina Dear Veterans, On November 10, 2009 we will conduct our 6th Annual Veterans Day Parade in the Draper Village of Eden. The Draper Elementary School has a program called “Adopt A Veteran.” Each year the school hosts a parade which includes the Draper Elementary School students and ALL Veterans. The public is invited to join in the festivities. Each child will create a poster with your information provided below. We encourage you to also include a photo if possible. These children will then carry their poster in the parade. Therefore, we need these forms filled out and returned as soon as possible so the children can begin creating their posters in honor of you. On Tuesday, November 10, ALL VETERANS and children will leave the school at 8:30 a.m. and walk downtown to Draper Village, cross at the light at the former bank and proceed to the Veteran’s Park for a very special ceremony that will begin at 9 a.m. Anyone who is unable to walk is encouraged to meet us at the park or you may ride the DAV Van from the school. Please put this on your calendar and let’s make this the best parade yet!! This program is to honor all Veterans and to let the children gain an appreciation for the sacrifices you all made for our country. The fun part is they get to meet you and get to know you better through this project. Thank you for your participation and we look forward to seeing you on November 10th! May God bless each and every one of you! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------NAME__________________________________________________________________ BRANCH/RANK_________________________________________________________ TIME SERVED____________________________________________________________ WARS SERVED____________________________________________________________ SPECIAL HONORS_________________________________________________________ ANY SPECIAL INFORMATION_______________________________________________ Again, if possible, send a copy of a photograph in uniform.
