What Memorial Day Means To Me
Written by Emma Oravec , Grade 6, 2009
Your life is the greatest gift you can give your country, and on Memorial Day we honor men and women who have given their lives to defend us. On Memorial Day, I go to the cemetery with my family and listen to a special service. The old men from World War II come up to the podium and talk about their friends that died and tell how they respect them. I’m really glad that they were there to stop the Nazis, because they were so mean. Men from other wars like Korea and Vietnam also talk, and I think it is very heart-touching, because they talk about how their friends gave their lives to save us, and I respect that, too. If there are any soldiers home from Afghanistan or Iraq, they stand up and we all clap for them, and that makes me feel happy, sad, and proud all at the same time. I am happy for them, because they foughthard and did a good job. I am sad because they might have to go back and fight again. And I am proud, because they are representing our country. I am glad that America has a day to remember the soldiers who gave us their greatest gift.

GERMAN PIZZA
Recipe from Viki Richter of Richter Farms
If you’re not familiar with German Pizza you are in for a pleasant surprise. This versatile dish is gluten free as the crust is potato based. It can be adapted to use ground pork, sausage or smoked meats. You can even add other traditional pizza toppings. Let us know your own special spin on it!
1 lb. Ground beef
1/2 medium onion, chopped
½ green pepper, diced
1- 1 ½ teaspoons salt, divided
1/2 teaspooon pepper
2 tablespoons butter
6 medium potatoes (about 2 ¼ lbs) peeled and shredded
1- 1 ½ teaspoons salt, divided
3 eggs beaten
1/2 cup milk
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
In a 12-inch stove-top or electric skillet, over medium heat, brown beef with onion, green pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Remove meat mixture from skillet and drain fat. Reduce heat to low. Melt butter; spread potatoes over butter and sprinkle with remaining salt. Top with beef mixture. Combine eggs and milk; pour over all. Cook, covered, until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes. Top with cheese. Cover and heat until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Cut in wedges or squares to serve. Yields 4 to 6 servings.
