“The American flag is the most recognized symbol of freedom and democracy in the world.”
Virginia Foxx
The shadows of our neighbor’s American flag flapped against the dark sky.
In that moment, I watched from our kitchen window the colors that shown as a symbol of all our country’s been through this decade.
Indelibly melded is today’s November 11th holiday and tragedies like September 11th.
Today’s post is a tribute to our military for their influence before and since the terrorist attacks, and in remembrance during this 10th anniversary year.

WRite wHere I’m supposed to be – God bless our service men and women, ones like our children’s grandfathers.
Nice work & tribute to our country, veterans, & freedom…
Thanks, Sheri. Both our dads (my husband\’s and mine) retired from the military so that makes Veterans Day especially significant for us.
