Veteran's Day

Veterans came to McKinley School today. They told us about what they did. They showed us cool things. We saw a wooden gun used to perform a routine with. They passed a flag around respectfully. Some showed us pictures and money from other countries. A woman veteran had a jeep to help guard in the woods and in a town. Mr. Davis worked on tanks in the desert. One time dirt got into a tank's cannon and it exploded and the end was gone. No one was hurt. We love our veterans and Veteran's Day!
