I am 100% PATRIOTIC, and proudly fly the American Flag at our house 365 days a year.
During the Pledge of Allegiance and The National Anthem, I proudly place my right hand over my heart, taking to heart the words I am saying or singing.
I do not tolerate my children acting silly during these solemn American traditions. I want to instill in them a love and respect for our country.
The only reason I am able to fly a flag at our house, or teach my children to sing out The National Anthem is because men and women in our country have fought for that right.
Men and women who follow in the giant footsteps of our forefathers, great men like George Washington.
Today, I would like to honor these men and women who give their lives to our country, so that I might enjoy freedom. Men and women, whose faces may be nameless to me...but to some, are called husband or son, wife or mother.
With a heart full of gratitude, I am praying for you today, dear American soldiers, sailors, pilots, chaplains...and your families back home who miss you.
Thank you.
