With no school today, Camille got to watch the Veteran’s Day parade with some hot chocolate and some buddies (including the daughter of a veteran – how appropriate!).

I asked her why we celebrate Veteran’s Day, and she said it is to honor soldiers who went to war to protect us. I know she doesn’t truly understand what that means, but I like to think it’s the right foundation for a better understanding of that sacrifice as she gets older.

Thanks to all our veterans – today and every day!
