Veterans' Day Celebration

Isaac's preschool had a Veterans' Day celebration on Tuesday. It was really cute, all the kids marched in a parade; Isaac was as you can see in the pictures Abraham Lincoln (probably the shortest one you've seen) they also sang "Yankee Doodle" (which Isaac has been singing all week) and a few other songs. They recited the Pledge of Allegiance and we all had a picnic after. Isaac was one of the children with a parent in the Military so he was able to hang a picture of Dusty on the "Wall of Heroes". We are proud of you Dusty for serving our country. Isaac you did a great job marching and singing, we love you.




Living on a military base and having Dusty serve our country has definitely made me feel more patriotic. Everyday at 7 am, 5 pm and 10 pm our national anthem is played on loud speakers that are positioned all around base. If you are outside, you stand facing the music and place your hand on your heart as you listen to the song. If you are driving on base you pull your car over and listen to the music. These 3 minutes everyday spent pondering the freedoms of our country help me remember what a great and blessed country that we live in and it reminds me of the men and women who have given their lives for it. Thank you to all the men and women who serve our country.
