The students at Smithville Elementary School hosted a program honoring military veterans Friday.

Students were lead in singing the hymns of the four branches of the military, as well as "God Bless the USA," by Kelly Birmingham.

Adrienne McCormick read the following "Veterans Day" poem by Cheryl Dyson:

On Veterans Day we honor all,

Who answered to a service call,

Soldiers young, and soldiers old,

Fought for freedom, brave and bold

Some have lived, while others died,

And all of them deserve our pride,

We're proud of all the soldiers who,

Kept thinking of red, white, and blue,

They fought for us and all our rights,

They fought through many days and nights,

And though we may not know each name,

We thank ALL veterans just the same.
