Daily Post 9/11/08

This is a little off topic.....

In light of 9-11; what do you to do show your continued support of those fighting for our freedom?  What do you do to thank those who have fought in the past?

First of all, we fly the American flag at our home.  I try to always be respectful of other people's opinions and their right to express those opinions even if I do not agree with them.  I do this because that is what our service men and women fight/fought for - our freedoms.  Our freedom to believe what we want and speak what we want without fear of persecution because of those beliefs and opinions.  I pray for their safety and for their families who sacrifice everyday because their loved ones are away from them fighting for all of us.  They and their families are our true heroes. 

My son is in the military so we're pretty patriotic around here.  I have Army stuff all over the place, on my car, in my work office, at the house.   My grandpa was a hero in WW2.  He was given his purple heart by the President  as well as his Silver Star. 

We have a flag outside our house.  It's the first thing I bought when we moved in.

We fly the American Flag

We always fly the American Flag on our front deck now.  I never thought about it having a flag until 9/11 now it's part of my permanent landscape.

Like most, we have an American Flag outside...   I also pray for our servicemen and women, and try to live my life respectfully and proudly as an American. 

We put up a flag pole and fly the US flag.  As a young adult, I never gave it much thought.  Now, I know how precious these fighting men and women are!     Jules

Im an army wife so I thank everyone for praying and thinking of our troops who are in harms way. Needless to say my life kind of evolves around being patriotic! I have flags and stars with flags and flag windchimes outside my house and my military wifes prayer on my wall in the living room. Army wife sticker on my car and of course an I LOVE MY SOLDIER  sticker on my car and army license plate frame. ( Im pretty darn proud of my hubby can you tell!)
