I love America! We are so lucky to live in this country. We have wonderful opportunities available to us such as public education. We have a say in our government. We have the freedom to choose our career, our religion, and how to use our time. A great big thank you to goes out to all who have sacrificed to make it possible. This year to remember those who have given so much on our behalf I took my family to the Ridgefield Memorial Day Service:
They presented the colors.
There was a 21 gun salute.
Taps was played.
A few stories were shared about those who have given their lives for our country and those who are currently in our service. I appreciated this simple yet powerful ceremony that helped me and my family take pause for those who have given so much for what we enjoy daily. I especially appreciate that this ceremony began and ended with prayer.
"One nation under God."
