Mona Shores School Visit – 2018
A great day with 135 students and Mona Shores chaperones who visited Eric’s gravesite at Arlington National Cemetery. The students spent 3 days in class learning about Eric, watching the movie “Taking Chance” and writing letters. What a wonderful way to teach the kids about what it costs our country to be free and to keep Eric’s memory alive at the same time!
