As I mentioned in March, my blog may occasionally be about something other than faith, family or life's challenges. Today is that day, sort of :-) I don't think anyone would mind if I decided to post a short blog about saying thanks to all those who served to protect our freedom.
All those who served...not just soldiers, but the families left on the home-front to 'carry-on' and sacrifice life's luxuries or deal with harsh critics. WWII had gas coupons, Vietnam & Korea had a country divided by politics and our present war on terror has more people looking over their shoulder...and maybe realizing the greater value in things we can not place a value on.
Today, (like most days) I hung my flag, made a cup of coffee, took my dog for a walk and posted some things on Facebook. I did not fear someone might demand I remove my flag, I chose any brand of coffee I wanted, I walked my dog anywhere I chose-wearing whatever I wanted- and I posted on Facebook without worrying if my comments would get me arrested. Sounds weird, but read an excerpt from the June 2013 issue of the American Legion: 'The North Korean government has officially approved 18 hairstyles for women and 10 for men. The barber-shop-conformity campaign is part of a broader effort to clamp down on Western influences, the Daily Mail reports. This is a reprise of a 2005 campaign by Pyongyang aimed at making sure North Koreans trim (their) hair in accordance with Socialist lifestyle.'
I bought a poppy this weekend. Did you?
