Camping over Veterans Day

Veterans Day is Friday November 11. We have reservations in Tabor City, NC at Daddy Joe's Jellystone RV Park for Thursday through Saturday nights. We have five RV's of family and friends already booked. Four of us have one of the quad sites.
Come join us. It is a very nice RV park.

Sounds like fun Tom, but a little bit of a ride from Arizona for us.

Daddy Joes is a nice campground. The annual NC GS rally will be held there again next year.

Would love to, but for the last 6 years our local high school does not give the kids the day off. Instead they bring in Veterans (WWII to current) to talk to the kids. I've been participating in this for that last 5 of the 6 years. I enjoy public speaking and the kids come up with some interesting questions once they get beyond the have you ever been shot?, or killed anyone? The teachers and school staff go all out for us. The students design a t-shirt for the event as well as tie their history/social studies into the different conflicts. We all meet the teachers and fellow veterans at the local VFW the night before for a meet and greet dinner. This year will be a treat as I have finally recruited several fellow Navy veterans so i'm not the only representative of the Navy present.

Great idea. Thanks for serving both in the past and present. I'm sure it's a great learning experience for the kids.

Good for your school. We have a very large US Navy community here in Kitsap County, with Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Keyport Naval Torpedo Station and Sub-Base Bangor (no, I'm not Navy but have a lot of them in my family and my wife is retired Navy DoD). There is always a meaningful assembly with speakers. I've been a featured speaker, too, but most kids already know that as I coach high school wrestling and sometimes wear T-shirts that on others might not be approved (I'll leave it at that).

On the other side of the coin, there are some school districts that don't celebrate the day, nor have assemblies. I won't give you my comment on that because this isn't that kind of forum but looking at my photo and forum "name", you can surmise my opinion.
