We filmed the interviews with our phones and the students created documentaries, creative writing, and artwork to honor the veterans. This project is a lot harder to do nowadays. As they age, these heroes are rapidly leaving us. However, because of these students, their stories and lessons will not. | Trevor Muir- The Epic Classroom | Facebook
