Dear Veterans,  

        My name is Cherie Reid and I am a teacher in Howell , New Jersey .  I have created a website called "Kids Thank A Veteran" at www.kidsthankavet.com.   I hope that this website will eventually spread across the United States to children of all nationalities, ethnic backgrounds and economic levels.  It has one primary purpose - to have children thank a Veteran for serving.  Every child that thanks a Veteran will be able to go to the site, and register their first name and state so that I can keep a National tally. I truly feel that many of our children do not appreciate our American Veterans and the important part they have played in securing our American Freedoms. This simple gesture of saying "Thank you for serving" will cause them to become aware of our Veterans, and hopefully, these students will continue this practice throughout their lives. The secondary purpose is education.  I have researched information on a variety of topics which include:

·         What is a Veteran?

·         Information on Veteran holidays and military awards

·         Our American flag (also POW/MIA flag)

·         Military services and academies

·         Groups that help Veterans

·         Women in the military

·         Those who have sacrificed

·         Memorials/cemeteries

·         Teacher activities (including songs, puzzles, etc.)

·         Patriotic crafts

·         Children's book suggestions

·         Veteran photo page

       This site is strictly for educational purposes and will be closely monitored so that it will be a safe site for children to visit.  Veteran's pictures that are submitted for the photo page, will come to me first so that inappropriate pictures will not be posted.  All comments that are submitted will also be monitored.

                   The next step I will be taking is to let people know that this tribute website exists.  This will be a massive undertaking which will include publicity, handouts, letters to every state educational system, etc.  I am determined to continue this project and to make it a success, and would appreciate any help you could give me.  Any donations to "Kids Thank A Veteran" would go directly to website expenses.  I also hope to eventually add another navigation button to give recognition to any groups that have helped with this p roject.  If you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call at 732-349-6394 and please visit  "Kids Thank A Veteran" at  www.kidsthankavet.com.      Thank you for serving            Cherie Reid, Director
