    We really love this unit. My 11 year old son is very interested in all things military and this unit was the first Layers of Learning unit we have ever done. There is definitely a nice range of book suggestions, activities, and writing opportunities for all ages. Not only did my son enjoy learning, I also had fun and learned a lot of new things. I highly recommend this unit if you also have a child that loves all things millitary!
