    Q2: Do you have a veteran in your life? When where and what branch did they serve? #wearewayne

    A2: My husband served as a navy submarine officer for 11 years. My grandfather served in WWII. I wished I knew more of his story from the time he served. #wearewayne

    Q3: Do you believe that your country treats its veterans as they deserve to be treated? Why or why not? #wearewayne
  • sngltn3737 Nov 13 @ 8:18 PM EST
    A3: I believe most Americans respect our veterans, but sadly, our veterans do not receive nearly the support and resources they often need after service. It must be more of a priority. #wearewayne

    Historically, veterans have not been well treated in this country, especially minority veterans. We respect but is that enough? #wearewayne

    Glad to have you! #wearewayne

    Q4: What are the best ways you have seen Veterans honored in the classroom? #wearewayne
  • sngltn3737 Nov 13 @ 8:25 PM EST
    We definitely need to do more. Your point on minority veterans is especially true. #wearewayne

    Q5: Veterans of the past and of the present literally risk--and sometimes sacrifice--their lives to protect our lives and freedoms. What can we as private individuals do to honor these men and women? #wearewayne

    A4: I have seen classes participate in writing letters for honor flight mail calls, but not enough. I wish we did more. Invited them in to tell their stories. Found ways to thank them and learn from them. #wearewayne
