Remembering...
Growing up, my Dad had us stand every night, cross our hearts, recite the Pledge of Allegiance & sing the Star Spangled Banner as the American Flag waved bravely until our TV faded into darkness. He made us proud to be an American. His words still ring through my thoughts reminding me to never forget why we should cherish the freedoms we have. He would say, "That flag symbolizes who we are. Every man & woman in our great country, despite their differences, colors, tenants, or biases, have ALWAYS risen up TOGETHER forming an impenetrable wall against our enemies. It is our job to continue protecting these sacred rights, our Constitution & our way of life. NEVER FORGET THEIR COMMITMENT & THEIR SACRIFICES TO PRESERVE THEM!"
So...This Memorial Day I say, "When I see all the racial comments being thrown around, the divisions in our country, people taking up sides against one another, attempts to force personal tenants on others and most of our elected officials only worried about getting richer...I remember my Dad's words & continue to honor those countless American who knew what was most important to maintain what we have... I pledge to honor their memory & their sacrifices by continuing what my Dad taught me..."
