Veteran's Day 08

Madelyn's class spent the morning at our city cemetery. I volunteered to go with them. We sat on blankets and I read a story about the The Wall in Washington D.C. that honors soldiers who died or are missing in action. Then each student made rubbings of veteran headstones in the cemetery. The headstones were designated by a small U.S. flag. At the city Veteran's Day Memorial Services they sang. My eyes got a little wet. The song has beautiful words. I am only sharing a small clip of the song. I so appreciate our nation's veterans and those serving now to keep freedom in our land and in other parts of the world. I love this nation! Thank you, military.
