Madison Elementary in Hinsdale hosted several generations of military veterans on Veterans Day.
The students honored them by singing patriotic songs, and learned that serving in the military isn't just about combat.
"I brought my helmet that I wore, and I thought you all...this is the actual helmet that I wore in Vietnam. Thank you for having us today," said one veteran, hoisting his now-50 year-old helmet. "I'm very grateful to the school for holding this every year and just making this important and that resonates not only with the students but with the soldiers and veterans as well," said Dr. Christopher Colbert, an Army Doctor.
