Nov. 11th: Veterans Day

Here is a video featuring some Veterans at RTC.  Do you recognize them? There is no school on November 11th, Veterans Day.  This song was written by Katherine Lee Bates, an English teacher, in 1895. It is called "America the Beautiful". Here are the lyrics:

O beautiful for spacious skies,

For amber waves of grain,

For purple mountain majesties

Above the fruited plain!

America! America!

God shed His grace on thee,

And crown thy good with brotherhood

From sea to shining sea!

O beautiful for pilgrim feet

Whose stern impassioned stress

A thoroughfare for freedom beat

Across the wilderness.

America! America!

God mend thine ev'ry flaw,

Confirm thy soul in self-control,

Thy liberty in law.
