315/365 - Veteran's Day, David R. Waite

For Veteran's Day, Marley's 3rd grade class had an assignment: write a paragraph about a person they know in a military uniform.



This is what she wrote:
This is my Great-Grandpa David Waite. He was only 17 when he joined the Navy. He was in the Navy from November 1944 until July 1946. He was a member of the forward crew on the USS Sirona. The Sirona was one of over 100 ships in Tokyo Bay getting ready to invade Japan when Japan surrendered and the war was over.

Thank you to all of our veterans!
