GrandPals//Heroes Day
Today was GrandPals//Heroes Day at Sam's school. It was extra special for us because Sam was selected out of all the 1st graders to read what he wrote about his hero - Papa! My daddy. He wrote:
I didn't tell Daddy exactly what Sam was doing, just that it was special and Daddy really shouldn't miss it. Well, needless to say, he was speechless and brought to tears when he heard Sam read that - in front of the entire school plus all the military and emergency response special guests.

His paper laying on the ground, he's reading over it one last time.

We practiced some over the weekend and Sam read loudly & clearly!
My Hero
by Sam Whitley
My hero is my Papa. He helped the National Guard. He helped America good. He loves America a lot. And he helped me and he loves my family too.
I didn't tell Daddy exactly what Sam was doing, just that it was special and Daddy really shouldn't miss it. Well, needless to say, he was speechless and brought to tears when he heard Sam read that - in front of the entire school plus all the military and emergency response special guests.
