So many thoughts go rushing through our minds when we think of family and friends that have paid the cost of freedom for our very lives. A husband and brother having served in the military, along with countless cousins uncles and so many friends. My husband was so young, in WW11 overseas, just out of high school fighting in foreign countries. Very few stories do I know of his from that time, only that it was a time that fear must have griped the soul of every man. May have been the effects of that time that took his life much too soon, I'll never know. The thing I remember most of him saying was on his return home from overseas is. "The Statue of Liberty was the most beautiful lady I have seen". I miss so many today that didn't get to return to homes and families as well. I will fly my flag for our great country and all it represents.
