Blog #33 Coney Island Principal pulls patriotic song


Coney Island principal refuses to let kindergarten students sing "God Bless the USA" at graduation, but Justin Bieber's "Baby" is OK

Cadets: Please read this article and let me know what you think about the decision
that was made to drop the song "God Bless the U.S.A." from the graduation
ceremony.  Thanks and have a great year.  I hope that anyone that reads this
blog will post their responses.

Here is the web-site that Mr. Naso mentioned for the Wolfhounds. Make sure you log onto the site and look at other soldiers information and leave positive messages. Post their names back to our site and don't forget to mention that you are from Tiger Battalion JROTC. Good luck and keep up your hard work. This is worth extra credit with your final score.

Blog #31 Paying the respect of a Grateful Nation

An now it's time to say good-bye and turn a close to our classes for this year.  Your last post is to watch the following video related to the Vietnam Memorial Wall.  Once you have done so, find a name on the wall and post that soldier's information back to our blog.  Here is the link for a great site for names on the wall:
Vietnam Memorial Wall Names    Vietnam Memorial Wall Information 
Vietnam Memorial Wall Search     Vietnam War Letters Returned
Here is the video and I hope  you enjoy this work.  Remember to post your comments on other's work.  How many women have their names on the wall and how many Medal of Honor winners are on the wall. Everyone that has their name on this wall deserves more recognition than they received for their ultimate sacrifice.
