Home of the Free, because of the Brave....

This morning me and my dad attended a wonderful morning service at a church we used to attend. We went today to experience the Patriotic Service in honor of America's Birthday. It wasn't until a few years ago that I realized that freedom was never free in countries. This morning it was as if we were at the steps of the capital in Washington D.C. There was full percussion, orchestra, and brass section along with a choir. The reason was to honor those who have served and serve. A variety of patriotic songs were sang and they honored those in their individual branches to stand when they heard their Military Hymn played. While the song played the division flag was carried down and a person in full uniform walked down the aisle carrying it. Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard...it was so cool .There were 70 year olds wearing there sailor suits and as proud as ever. I watched my dad and grandfather stand during the Air Force march and it was so moving. Overall, it was an amazing morning. So glad to see those who gave so much be honored. How blessed we are to live in a Country where will choose to live in the way we please. I hope this week and always I will continue to never take it for granted. My only regret today was that I wish Myers could have seen it...he would've loved it :) ><>,Kelly
