Joe Hare thinks Veterans Day should be school holiday

By Joe Hare

When I looked at the calendar for the Adair County School system for the coming year one day NOT included in the days they take off is very upsetting. That is Veterans Day. This a slap in the face to all veterans that served and sacrificed so that we can have the freedoms we have today, including the freedom to make the choice to dishonor us. It is no wonder we have the problems we have in America today as our children are not taught to respect the veteran for what they have done.

I urge the administration and all school board members to reconsider this decision and honor all living and veterans that gave that Ultimate Sacrifice that we can live free in America by not have school on Veterans Day.
