American flag (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
This week-end let us recall why we are celebrating – it is to remember and give honor to those courageous men and women who worked, and many died, to protect and preserve our freedom.
Today we fly the American flag, say a prayer for the fallen, and give thanks for those who made it back safely.
Thank you to my late husband, Peter, who was in the Navy and fought in the Korean War and to my brother, Richard, who was in the Army.
They and all those who served and sacrificed in our Armed Forces fought to insure our country can be the freest in the world. They were willing to fight and die so we could continue to live in this land of the free and the home of the brave.
God bless our Service Men and Women!
