Very “special”.

Very special indeed.

My sister is meeting public school students today at the local cemetery to teach them why we observe Veterans Day. She bought a "Proud Daughter of a World War II Veteran" sweatshirt to wear for the occasion. Both our parents served in the Army during World War II. My sister and brother always put a beautiful patriotic saddle on their graves. (I live 400 miles away, but they send me pictures.)

Dad and Mom taught us to respect the flag and love our country.

A beautiful story!

Thank you so much for sharing.

Most of our parents are part of the “Greatest Generation” who really loved and scarified for our country.

They passed this down to us and I am so thankful.
