Memorial Day.....



To those who serve our country: THANK YOU!


To those whose loved one is over seas or deployed away: We are with you, in prayer and spirit


To those who have lost a loved one due to war: Our sincere condolences, and prayers for your mourning heart. Our family has been effected as well.


This year Memorial Day took a different spin. This year, we have a loved brother serving in Afghanistan. This year it hit home for us all in a different way.


Our city does a Harley Davidson Ride every year that travels right by our house. This year my in-laws rode in honor of their son serving. We cheered and yelled as we saw them ride by. This year we had even more reason to show support. This morning as the Black Hawk helicopter flew and circled our neighborhood, my little guy saluted, in honor of his uncle that flies on the same helicopter.


We in our household fly our flag proudly. We love those who have served in the past, and are currently serving, for we are a military family.


May we never forget the sacrifice that others are making, so we can sleep safely at night.
