About Us
Kidsthankavet.com has one main purpose
- to show the men and women who have served in the United States Military that we care. Children
who simply say “Thank you for serving” to any Veteran, will be able to register on
this site. But there is much more. On this site you will find information about our Veterans,
the United States military, the American Flag, Veteran`s holidays, United States military academies
and services, groups that help Veterans, women in the military, Veteran memorials and cemeteries,
teacher activities, patriotic songs and crafts, great books to read and photos of our Veterans.
The cost to you - nothing. The result - a feeling of pride.
Is it possible to teach children to respect those who fought for the freedoms we have today? I believe it is - one child at a time.
Thank you,
Cherie Reid, Director
