Okay, now that I have your attention... I need a little outside help...
My 6 y/o daughter came home from school today with this homework assignment.
For the Parents, to talk with their child, about what a Veteran is, and what he/she has done for our country.
They also want the names of 3 family members, and the wars, etc
That part will be easy, Starting with me, and can go back past WWI. But, for this, only need to go back to WWII.
NOW, I am having difficulty talking to her about it, as I personally think its more than a 6 y/o should have to comprehend about the world.
Now, I also know that are a lot of other Vets here as well, and some Active Duty members...Hell, I havent even been out a year yet...
ANYWAY, what I am looking for, is, maybe an OUTSIDE idea what people think of when they hear the word Veteran. What comes to mind, how do you define the word?
I just dont know how to talk to her about this.
I have a lot of Pride regarding my service... that isnt an issue.
SHE'S 6!!!!!! Maybe to a 10 or 12 year old, I could talk about it.....
I know this seems, a strange thing to ask... I would never tell another parent how to rear their child, but.... I am at a loss....for whatever reason..
Thanks for any and all input on this,
V/R
