I am a big supporter of the troops, but I shamefully admit when my teenage daughter wanted to sign up with the National Guard last summer I was scared shitless.

They do a service so many of us are not willing to do and we should not take it lightly.

What a beautiful sentiment. I am one of two houses on my block who flies the flag. When I moved to this house the first thing we did was erect the flag. My neighbor who also flies his flag has done two tours in Iraq and is just now retiring. Every time I see him I thank him for his service, he lives two doors down and we see each other a lot so he is kinda sick of it but I can’t shut up about it. He did something that I didn’t want to do, something incredibly important. I’m sure people thank him when he is wearing his uniform but if you really want to thank a vet, fly your flag on more days than flag day and the 4th.

It most certainly puts it in perspective for us when we see what our military does for our country. God bless them!

Wonderful way of making us all stop and think. The best part of having those kind of days is knowing you are never alone in having those days. I feel you, sister. *clink* Cheers to keepin’ on keepin’ on. =)
