Sedgwick special needs students get interactive with veteran

WEST HARTFORD>>Each year,  Sedgwick students and teachers  strive to honor Veteran's Day in the classroom with interactive activities.
Students in Ms. Croce's special needs classroom got a real treat this November. when Staff Sargent  Christopher Shea, a visiting veteran, entertained students with details of his duties during both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.  while giving them the opportunity to try on his  boots, backpack, vest and helmet as well as check out his  compass , night  vision light and safety glasses.  Shea, a member of the CT Army National Guard Army , enlisted in March of 2004.     Shea was a sophomore in high school during 9/11 and  both his parents were active duty Army members. Both of these helped to solidify his desire to serve his country.
