Our Freedom's

Someone sent me this link awhile ago and I have kept it because I think it is so good. It reminds me of all the men and women who fought for my country to make it free and keep it free. Please click on it and read/listen to it.

I am so thankful that I was raised with patriotism and I am trying my best to raise my daughters with patriotism. I am thankful for my grandpa Munns who fought in WWII. I love WWII history and the courageous stories I hear and read. I do not know if I could do what a lot of them did. I guess we all would if we were put in a situation.

I think of the story about a soilder who was a Prisoner or War (POW) and he has sewn an American Flag on the inside of his shirt. Everyday the soliders would say the Pledge of Allegence to that Flag. One day he the enemy found the Flag on the inside of his shirt and they riped it out and beat him. The next day he was in the corner sewing another Flag in his shirt with a swollen eye. This soldier that told the story said that is how they survived to the end, because of that mans patriotism and knowing what they were doing was right.

Please support our Flag, Country, Military, and President and not disrespect them. Have a great 4th of July!!
