If your students could say anything to a fallen member of the United States Military on Memorial Day, what would it be? This LOW-PREP free resource was created to give your kiddos an opportunity to write a loving, caring, and supportive Memorial Day sentiment to a (fictional or real) member of the United States Armed Forces who is no longer living.
How It Works: After choosing a United States Armed Forces member (Air Force Airman, Army Private, Coast Guard Officer, Marine Corps Officer, or Navy Seaman), students are given a list of fifteen (15) heartfelt statements. One statement is selected and neatly written on the lines provided. Students then draw a picture of themselves and color the picture using crayons or colored pencils. SUGGESTION: As an extension to this activity, you may wish to have your students write letters or thank you notes to fallen, current, or retired members of the United States Armed Forces.

What's Included?
*One (1) “From My Heart” List of 15 Heartfelt Sentiments
*Five (5) “From My Heart” Heartfelt Message printables
Gentle Suggestions/Tips/Reminders:
*Because this resource deals with fallen (deceased) members of the United States Military, you may want to have a brief discussion with your students about the significance and meaning of Memorial Day PRIOR to the completion of any pages within this product.
*REMINDER: Each Memorial Day sentiment is no more than seven (7) words in length.
*Images of the military personnel may be colored using crayons and color pencils. SUGGESTION: Have the students use MULTICULTURAL OR SKIN-TONED colored pencils and crayons when coloring military personnel (or themselves).
*Images of military personnel of different ranks have been included with this resource. Depending on the academic levels and needs of your kiddos, you may wish to explain that a rank is defined as a certain job or position within the U.S. military.
*REMINDER: Feel free to use this resource as a way of honoring U.S. military veterans on Veterans Day, as well.
