Students crowd a hallway at Mill Valley High School between classes last week. The school has an estimated enrollment this year of 1,013 students, which is above the school's posted capacity. In all, the De Soto school district projects it will have about 400 more students in 2008-09 than in 2007-08.

Do you think Veterans Day should be a prominent holiday?

Absolutely. We wouldn’t be able to sit here and eat lunch like this if it weren’t for the veterans. We’ve got millions of people that fought and died to save this country; it should be more than a bank holiday.
