The Daily Pilot went to International Christian Montessori Academy in

Costa Mesa to ask students, ‘What does Memorial Day mean to you?’

“It reminds me of all the people that died for us to save our

country.”

DAVID KIM, 7, Costa Mesa

“It reminds me of every person there was in the war that died to save

a bunch of other people. I think we should respect that a lot.”

PHOENIX HOLMES, 7, Costa Mesa

“It reminds me about all the people that died in the war for us, and

we should give the families presents to make them happy because their

fathers died in the war.”

BRANDON VERDULT, 8, Newport Beach

“We should give flowers and go to the orphanage and give them flowers

and money because their fathers died in the war.”

SARAH DUEHRING, 7, Costa Mesa

“It reminds me of my uncle that died in the war. We should give

flowers and all of the things for the orphans and widows because their

uncles and husbands died in the war.”
