As an "Air Force brat" I grew up with strong feelings about patriotism, serving our country and appreciating our freedom....it's a permanent part of my heart. Here's to those who have served or are serving - men, women and animals as well.
Thanks, Cody and your furmily for reminding us what this day is really all about. We tend to take such things for granted but it is not at all like that. It should be a solemn day. Our unfurbros used to participate in the Memorial Day services at the military cemeteries around here...and they helped put flags on graves, too.
Absolutely a wonderful post we are thankful for each and every one too. I was so happy to see a darling news piece on TV last night. It was about a local 5 year old and how much her parents are teaching her to love and respects the flag and what it means. No matter where she is when she sees a flag she recites the Pledge of Allegiance. Hugs madi and mom
Many thanks to all of our service people all over the world who continue to keep the peace, or try to.
