Marines with Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron and 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing aboard Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Calif., and students with Literacy First Charter School admire their work after a flag planting ceremony in San Diego, Nov. 9, 2012.

Students invited Marines to visit their school in remembrance of those who served and serve currently.

“The kids [were] very excited,” said Mr. Chris Castberg, a U.S. History teacher with the charter school. “Some of them have military [service members] in their families and others just know what a huge honor it is to honor who serve for us.”
