When I arrived at the cemetery today to decorate the graves of family members, I was surprised to see two men walking through the cemetery. The men were checking a list on a clipboard and pulling a small wagon that was full of flags. Row by row, they were placing a flag by each veteran's grave. I found out that these men were continuing a tradition that their grandmother had started to show her appreciation for the sacrifice others had made for the freedoms we enjoy today.
All the freedoms we enjoy today have come with a cost. Looking across the cemetery with a strong wind blowing, each flag appeared to be standing at attention and givng a salute. It was a perfect picture to remind me of all the freedoms that we enjoy as a nation because of the sacrifice of others.
God Bless America!
