Veterans Day is more than a date on the calendar. It is an opportunity to pause, reflect, and honor the men and women who have sacrificed so much for our nation. As we watch the red, white, and blue wave in the wind, we are reminded that freedom has never been free. For me, the colors of our flag carry a deeper meaning. The red reminds me of sacrifice. It speaks of the blood that has been shed by brave men and women who answered the call to serve. Their courage, dedication, and willingness to put others before themselves have helped preserve the freedoms we enjoy today. The white reminds me of Jesus Christ. In a world where none of us are perfect, He alone is pure, holy, and without fault. His love and sacrifice offer hope, forgiveness, and redemption for all who trust in Him. The blue brings thoughts of peace, unity, and gratitude. Being an American is a gift.

Your child is struggling at the assigned school. A grandparent lives inside the boundary of a much stronger public school and offers to let you use their address. The desired school has limited places and verifies residency unevenly.

Can a parent's duty justify taking an opportunity allocated by an unfair boundary?
