have sacrificed and done

their duty.

Currently, there are

more than 22 million

Veterans who have

served in the United

States Armed Forces

that have reintegrated

back into our society.

Please take the time to

thank our Veterans for

their courage, loyalty

and sacrifice.

*Information from the Dept of VA -

Teacher Resource Guide

In 1954, President

Dwight D. Eisenhower

signed a bill proclaiming

November 11th as

Veterans Day and called

upon Americans

everywhere to

rededicate themselves

to the cause of peace.

He issued a Presidential

Order directing the

head of the Veterans

Administration, now the

Department of Veterans

Affairs, to form a

Veterans Day National

committee to organize

and oversee the national

observance of Veterans

Day.

Veterans Day is largely

intended to thank living

Veterans for their

service, to acknowledge

that their contributions

to our national security

are appreciated and to

underscore the fact that

all who served - not only

those who have died -

BOOnanza The first annual BOOnanza was a success!

About 250 people, many in costume, came

out for some spooktacular fun! The event

had various activities including games such

as Creepy Checkers, Spooky Tic Tac Toe

and Witch Hat Toss, sensory tables filled

water beads and sand, glitter tattoo

artists, colorful crafts and of course,

bounce houses! The highlight of the day

was the costume parade and contest.

There were so many great costumes, it

was hard to pick the winners! Special

thank you to the Otis Civilian Advisory

Council for providing treat filled pumpkins

to all the kids. We also would like to thank the US Coast Guard Auxiliary, US

Family Health Plan, Fun Clowns n’ Co,

Grace Veterans Center, Falmouth Service

Center, Health, Safety & Work-Life and

the Child Development Center for their

participation and support of the event.

Did you make a guess? There

were 1283 candies in the jar!

According to the US Census Bureau, Minnesota is

the top turkey-producing state in America. An estimated 46 million turkeys are eaten on

Thanksgiving. The average weight of turkeys purchased for

Thanksgiving dinner is 16lbs.

Wisconsin, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Oregon

are the top cranberry growing states.

According to the Guinness Book of World

Records, the largest pumpkin pie ever baked

weighed 2,020lbs and was just over 12ft long. Turkey was the first meal enjoyed by Neil

Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin when they were on the

moon.

Gobble, Gobble?

If Ben Franklin

had his way, the

Turkey could have

been the official

bird of the United

States! He

thought the turkey

was a more

respectable bird

than the Bald

Eagle.
