So Freddie's school put on a performance by the 3rd graders on Friday in honor of Memorial day. The 3rd graders sang patriotic songs, recited poems, and honored veterans.
Quick quiz: Which one of these songs was not played in the school program:
a) Grand Old Flag
b) Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy
c) In the Navy
d) God Bless America
Answer: e) All of them were part of the performance!
I would really have liked to known what went through several of the veteran's heads - many of them 80 years old or so - when the class did "In The Navy" and were dancing to it. "Is this what we fought for? We fought so that American kids can dance to The Village People to honor us?"
