| Thank You for my Freedom! In all honesty I have been dreading today. I took a long drive through the mountains, ate lunch with three of my boys. Then a long drive through the mountains home. On the way home I pulled over to an overlook and there were those purple mountains we sing about in our National Anthem. I found myself admittiing to myself how much I am missing my favorite Veteran - my Father. At the same time so thankful that he shared his stories with us. He made me realize this thing called Freedom is a gift. Daddy helped me see what it means to be a Veteran. How much, so many people and their loved ones sacrificed for me and mine and you and yours. So, on a beautiful Sunday I could look out over the Blue Ridge Mountains, drive in my own car filled with gas, to eat a fabulous meal with loved ones and then drive home on smooth well kept roads. Only here in America. Thank you so much all of you who have served and are still serving this wonderful country we live in. I miss you Daddy. |
Oh, Elizabeth...that is so moving that tears are stinging my eyes. Thank you for saying something that is so important and so very poignant to all of us. I know your Dad is enormously proud of you and misses you terribly. I am grateful to him for his service and for giving the world a daughter like his!
