Dylan Kelly, the fifth grade student who wrote and played his original Veterans Day song at the Stow-Munroe Falls Board of Education meeting Nov. 14, also performed the song in front of hundreds of people and veterans at the Lakeview Intermediate Veterans Day event. 

Lyrics:

November 11th What can I say, 
It's time to celebrate Veteran's Day.
For those who served and for all who fell,
We thank you all and wish you well.
You served this country with honor and grace,
In the air at sea and face to face.
So to all you veterans I am proud to say,
Thank You, Thank You, Happy Veterans Day.
Thank You, Thank You, Happy Veterans Day.

Try holding back the tears when you watch. Local Editor Amanda Harnocz, could not. 

Someone give this talented kid a record deal or put him on American Idol!
