Service and Honor

The first Friday of August! The Military Order of the Purple Heart Day....
and a rare opportunity for my children and I to publicly thank all those families, past and present, who have sacrificed to keep us safe, and free.
 
It means a great deal to me that my daughters and I can raise the Flags on the Avenue of Flags at the Veteran's Administration, and participate in the ceremonies for the Purple Heart recepients. It is a long drive for us. It begins, literally, when the rooster crows, and we gladly drag our selves out of bed and head for town. Thank you Veterans for the opportunity to HONOR you and all you have done for our country.
