We've had red, white, and blue day at our elementary school. We have "Proud to be an American", on the sign outside of the school. In the Middle School the teachers wore handmade name tags with red, white and blue ribbons on them. I don't think anyone would be having a deer rack pool going on though. An MIA flag flies below the American flag at the one school. Our High School television station did a great video of interviews with veterans that was played on television. We don't have deer rack pools or gun signs, however the police do come in and tell the kids in elementary school about gun safety. As annoyed as I sometimes get with the school system, they do somethings that deserve to be applauded, IMO.

OOPS(it's late) forgot to include the Veterans Day event at school. Prayer opening, Vets led in by their service flags and music, songs and poems by the children to the vets, and an excellent speech by Ron Paul(got out early due to HReps schedule changes at last minute). I was not the only one "near tears" at times when looking at faces we know and realizing all of these "old" guys put their lives on the line for US and a lot of them did not come back alive. I hope the minor changes for the better I'm seeing here are on a much larger scale in less rural areas...
