We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary in 2008. Our children helped us celebrate with an all expense paid all arranged vacation In Hawaii.

I had just finished a breakfast of hash browns and sausage. I was sitting in front of the television set with a cup of hot coffee in my hand when she came out the front door of her house.
She put down a small step stool. It was too small. She went back in and came out with a taller stool with no steps. It looked dangerous. She stepped onto the step stool and then up onto the tall stool. She hung an American flag!
Her son came out the front door, kissed her on the cheek and walked off toward the High School two blocks away.
I SMILED.
From the television I could hear the voice of Megyn Kelly talking about what happened on this date (9/11) eight years ago.
I'm proud to be an American. I'm thankful to be an American.
Today, I'm going to try not to think about all the liberals and Hollywood types that tell us what a mean, rotten, country this is.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Clif,
Not only well said, but we too did the very same thing and hung our flag today to remind me to remember and not forget.

What a beautiful picture of what America is all about - FREEDOM! And same thing with our Lord - FREEDOM!
Blessings to you.
I put up a remembrance on my book blog.
Absolutely! There is much to be thankful for in America. We must not let those loud voices who are crying for change, drown out the thankfulness of free hearts.
Be blessed,
Susan
I missed this post, but if you happen to notice that there's one more comment, just want to say that I'm standing with you on this one...proud to be an American, and thankful to God that we are free. We kept our flag out from Friday til Monday. We have a neighboring city that is quite small, actually, its a town and not a city. They had a small flag out on the front lawn of the fire department, representing each firefighter that lost their life on 9/11. I meant to go back and take a picture, but unfortunately, I didn't. Next year, I will.
God bless,
Mary
