Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here. I truly appreciate it.
I share everybody's confusion on this, but there's one thing I'm not confused about. I know everybody around this table cares deeply about veterans, they care deeply about remembrance, and if we didn't, we wouldn't be so engaged in this discussion today. So thank you all for your concern for veterans.
I'm going to start with Ms. Gallo. We've gone around talking about legal versus statutory, and so forth, but I'd like to talk about effects. One of the things we do in the military is talk about effects-based things. I'd like your opinion on the effect of keeping kids in school, the effect that a veteran or somebody knowledgeable would bring to the table, and the effect on these kids, not only immediately, right after they get their presentation, but throughout the rest of the school year and as they progress through the grades.
Can you maybe comment on what you may have observed as to the level of understanding and comprehension of students about the actual meaning of Remembrance Day?
