Veterans Day

Today is a special day. We honor all the men and women who served our country so we might be free.
Locally, our VFW has started putting up flags in honor of each individual who has served. It was quite a sight to see the 1st year they went up. Each year the numbers have grown.

On one such day, my granddaughters were in the van and they were in awe of all the flags. I explained that each flag was for a person who was in a war or in the service, and they fought for our freedom. I explained that means you can be whoever and whatever you want to be. They seemed to grasp that well.

For all my freedoms I take for granted, I wish I could say thank you. But by making sure we teach our kids how important our freedom is, we are saying thank you. Ensuring that the sacrifice they made won't be forgotten.
