The Boonie Life

Here's a video of one of the songs the students sang on Memorial Day. You can spot Kate in the video because she is littlest of all of them; you can spot Spencer because he is one who is yawning, and, well, moving more than anyone else; and you can spot Jiles because his head is right in front of me for a second. Oh, and the background music is the music teacher (who you can't see) playing the accordion. I think that is really cool.

Thank You, Soldiers

When I lay my head down every night

And go to sleep in peace,

I can stay there knowing all is well

While you're standing on your feet.

Keeping watch, protecting shore to shore

In the air and oceans, too.

Defending freedom at all cost,

For the red, white and the blue.

Thank you, oh thank you

Men and women, brave and strong.

To those who served so gallantly

We sing this grateful song.

To the soldiers who have traveled on

To countries far and near

In peace and war you paid the price

For the cause you hold so dear.

That we may wake each morning bright

And know that freedom rings

Because of your great sacrifice

Your country joins to sing,

Thank you, oh thank you

Men and women, brave and strong.

To those who served so gallantly

We sing this grateful song.
