To the Editor:
I was disappointed to read that the Fairfax County School Board voted against an amendment making Veterans Day a school holiday. For my spring break I visited Normandy, France and toured the Omaha and Utah beaches where many American soldiers fought to keep the world from tyranny and protect freedom. Today soldiers risk their lives on a daily basis to keep Americans safe. Their bravery and courage should not go unnoticed. For these reasons I support a day off to appreciate their service.
