    Each year comrades and auxiliary members visit Havasupai Elementary School to visit with the 3rd grade class for US Constitution Day. 
    During the visit we have the privilege of talking about the importance of the US Constitution, what it stands for, who the framers of the Constitution were, and what the need for having such a document means to the United States. Along with the presentation we hand out coloring pages for teachers to use in the curriculum as they discuss the topic in the coming days.

    We then were blessed with the class teaching us how well they knew the Pledge of Allegiance and the meaning behind the words they had just recited. We shared with the class what the colors of the American Flag mean, proper flag etiquette, and then with the help of three students our VFW members taught the class how to fold the American Flag. 

    This is a great opportunity for the Comrades and Auxiliary members of VFW Post 9401 to interact with the children of our community.  It gives us time to share our knowledge of principles the United States were founded upon and the role of patriotic Americans in today's society.
  
We also learn just how excited the kids in the classroom are about learning history and getting to speak with veterans from their local community.
