Please help GBR Celebrate and honor our veterans this November. I am looking for photos of your loved ones who served (or are serving) in the military. If you would like your loved one to be honored in our library display please send in a photo of your loved one along with their rank, branch in the military and the GBR family members name. I will put them together and add them to our display. You may start sending in at any time. That will give me time to get everything together so that the display will be ready to go up the beginning of November. Students last year were so excited to show off their family members. My wish is for this years display to be even bigger!!
