Veterans take center stage

Lt. Col. Robert Buchanan, 944th Operations Flight commander, lets a student try on a helmet and harness during the annual Veteran's Day celebration Nov. 7 at Garden Lakes Elementary School in Avondale, Ariz. Eleven years ago, a teacher at the school started the celebration, held the Friday before Veteran's Day, as an effort to educate students on why they didn't have school Nov. 11. Veterans from nearly every war, race, age and sex have spoken to students throughout the years. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Susan Stout)
