You aren't kidding! Lots of activities for folks to enjoy and support those in the armed forces...great post!
Wave those flags and support our active troops and those veterans that have served our country so well. And lets not forget the fallen and their families that have sacrificed their lives to keep us out of harms way.
Kristin-and this is just a sample. I love the small town events we have mixed in with the National ones.
Don-I will be visiting Arlington National Cemetary today to say thank you to those I knew and loved.
Cindy.....we visited Arlington National Cemetary when the children were young and it was amazingly breathtaking.....they want to bring their children to visit there now....
