HOLIDAY: we salute you

our family would like to salute all those who have served our country and that have sacrificed in so many different ways for our freedoms and liberties. i love memorial day, any patriotic holiday for that matter. but there's more to memorial day, it's the start of summer, warm weather, great picnics and parades.

i love being at the community events with the marching bands, old fire trucks, the sweet older veterans handing out candy and the color guard leading the pack. i'm grateful for the opportunity to teach my kids to respect and admire the flag, its symbolism and all those who serve under it.

so, thank you for your service and dedication to all those who have contributed to our country's freedoms. thank you to the families supporting our military, who are a constant strength.

till all are safely home...
