First of all, Happy Veteran’s Day! I think we have all heard the Veteran’s Day speech, but do we really think about it? They were the men and women, but mostly men, which have given us the freedom we have. Like freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and more! For a change O’Neill Public High School walked a couple blocks to St. Mary’s for this years Veteran’s Day Program. We are alternating every other year. The program took up almost 2 class periods!!
Today is not only Veteran’s Day, but also 11-11-11. I think that is cool because we only have 1 more year of this until another 100 years pass. For most of us 12-12-12 will be the last month, date, and year that are the same in our lifetimes! Other than that, it has been a pretty short and ordinary week at O’Neill High!
