A father of one of Izzy’s classmate’s brought some pictures and videos to school to share with the students.
He’s a medic in the armed forces. He’s been in Afghanistan. I believe he’s home on leave for a couple weeks.
He got lots of real fired up reactions showing the helicopter, going up and down a cable to and from it, that kind of thing. These kids are 4, 5 & 6 years old, remember. They had questions about who he helps. He really helps everyone? Even the bad guys? The bad guys really don’t shoot at him?
At one point he told the group, when asked about joining up, “No. Stay in school. Go to college. Get a degree. Do something really cool.”
I appreciated that.
