In honor of the upcoming Veteran's Day holiday, Scouts from packs 643 and 645 from Burton Valley Elementary School met with local war hero Lt. Col. Lloyd Childers to learn about the Pearl Harbor attack and the Battle of Midway.
The Scouts are actively working on a Citizenship Achievement that includes learning about the U.S. flag and the importance of good citizenship. The Scouts performed the Pledge of Allegiance and expressed their appreciation for his contribution in serving in the military.
Childers explained in great detail the importance of the Battle of Midway, and how it was a turning point in the war against the Japanese. He explained the importance of military service, and how it shaped him as an individual. Childers served in the U.S. Navy and Marines spanning four decades, participating in WWII, the Korean War and Vietnam. To learn more about his life, read the story "Conspicuous Bravery" in the Lamorinda Weekly archive at http://www.lamorindaweekly.com/archive/issue0809/pdf/Conspicuous-Bravery-The-remarkable-life-of-Lt-Col-Lloyd-F-Childers.pdf.
