The kids and I visited the 1000 flags as a tribute to our veterans last Saturday. The kids enjoyed running through the rows and rows of American flags and taking a moment to look closer at some of them. Most were in honor of those who have served our country, some of which gave their lives in the process. Many included sweet poems, stories and pictures. We were then able to attend the closing ceremony where Spencer and his fellow firefighters retired an American flag. It is always an amazing thing to witness and with the taps playing in the background, it's enough to make you want to cry. We are so lucky we live in this country of freedom and where there are good people who risk their lives fighting to keep us safe.
