Today I awoke to the sounds of airplanes. A huge carrier airplane came diving low over our house making rumblings and growlings that should have belonged to the belly of a great beast. In fact, I don't think it was an airplane but a great dark green dragon.
Today is Memorial Day.
I come from a family that has many veterans. My grandfather, his father, and my great uncle all served in the wars of their generations. We have their flags folded in triangles on our wall.
I am so thankful that we were blessed with their service and the service of thousands other brave men and women. They gave all for their country and we are free because of them.
"But the freedom that they fought for,
and the country grand they wrought for,
Is their monument to-day, and for aye."
Is their monument to-day, and for aye."
-Thomas Dunn English
Thank you, Veterans. You are my heros. May God bless and keep you safe.
All my respectful and thankful enthusiasm, The Bursty Blogger.
