We are writing in the hopes that your City, State, or County will support the needs on HONORING OUR VETERANS, of all Wars, with what we did in Palm Beach County, Florida back in 2011, See Article below:

Some of our Veterans were responsible for having the County School Board CLOSE ALL SCHOOLS for the Veterans Day Event, November 11th.

We know that Memorial Day, Flag Day, Martin Luther King Day, and more are Legal Federal Holidays, but what about Veterans Day?

It is our job to see this project gets done with a chance for school students and teachers alike to have the day off to visit a memorial or event on this special Day, November 11th.

VETERANS URGE PALM BEACH COUNTY TO CLOSE SCHOOLS ON VETERANS DAY

More than a dozen War Veterans asked the Palm Beach County School Board on Wednesday to honor living veterans by closing all county public schools on Veterans Day.

"We teach our children respect and about world history," said Cpl. Burt Richards, 80, of Boynton Beach. "But we teach them nothing about the veterans who have kept the students of our country safe and free."

All 187 schools are scheduled to be open on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, while schools in Martin, St. Lucie, Broward and Miami-Dade counties will be closed.

The county's public schools have been closed on Veterans Day for the past several years. When schools are closed on Election Day, as they will be this year, they're open on Veterans Day.

But that doesn't make veterans like Ralph L. Shear happy. Shear, 87, said the school district needs to act quickly to close schools.

"We're well up there in our 80s," Shear said. "We can't wait any longer. We're dying at the rate of 1,000 a day."

For legal reasons, the board could not take any action at its meeting on Wednesday, but the new board could revisit the issue after the Nov. 2 election. but since then All Schools in Palm Beach have been closed Veterans Day including Nov 11th 2016.
