DANIEL PETTING BENJO THE WAR HERO POLICE DOG
MILITARY SOLDIER READING TO THE STUDENTS
DANIEL HAD TWO STARS WITH FAMILY NAMES
HONOR STARS DISPLAYED AT DANIEL'S ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
In honor of Veterans Day today at Daniel's school this evening they had a Veteran's Day Hero read in. They had several teachers and the principal Mr Webb read some of their favorite books to the students. They also had displayed around the school stars where each of the students wrote the names of family members in the past and present who have served our country in a time of War. Daniel filled up two stars with Family Members names in their honor. The special guest of the evening was a military police officier and his working police dog Benjo. Benjo is actually retireing tomorrow and going to a foster home in Anchorage. He is 8 years old and has been stationed on Elmendorf for the last 7 years. He has been on 3 tours in Iraq and saved many lives. He is a war hero police dog. The officier read the kids a book about dog heroes and they were all allowed to go up and meet and pet Benjo. Towards the end of the evening the kids were allowed to get a book from the library shelves for their Mom or Dad to read to them. Of course Daniel picked out a Berenstain Bears book for me to read to him and his Sister. We want to wish everyone a Happy Veterans Day and we are very proud and Love our Military Hero whom had to work tonight or would have been with us at the read in. Also We are having a very special guest on Elmendorf tomorrow. President Obama will be making his first trip as President to Alaska. He is going to be talking to Military and their families on base tomorrow afternoon. I am not going to where he is going to be because it will be way to crowded but I think its really neat that the President of the United States will be here on our base tomorrow.
