Home of the Free, Because of the Brave--Memorial Day Salute
Montana was or is, Senator Tester is trying to find out, either the top state, per capita members who served in the armed services in the Nation, or second, either one, hats off, hearts and allegiance to keeping it free--thanks to all who served, are currently serving and who are willing to serve! I want to pay tribute to five members of my family, who have served: deceased husband, US Marine Corp; daughter, Navy Intel; son-in-law, Navy SEAL; daughter, Air Force, linguist; son-in-law, Army, linguist . . . so proud, believe me the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree . . . Memorial Day and July 4th, Services provided the opportunities for my children to honor service men/women and their country . . . something stuck!
Patriotism is more than just waving a flag at a parade on the 4th of July, or having a BBQ--it is a lifetime commitment to the core values, principles and concepts, that this country was founded on . . .
