I am doing just that, eyedigress. I couldn't be more pleased with how he is navigating the horrors of middle-school and being an honor roll student (mom brag). He studies WWII on his own because it is one of his main interests. We've been attending Veteran's Day and Memorial Day ceremonies since he's been able to walk. It hurts my heart sometimes that I have to help him navigate through these tough times when I think of how easy it seemed when I was growing up. I do have a perspective on history, but with 0bama, it just seems more sinister.
I’m most certain your child will be proud of himself and respectful of others. His God and his Family are first. His Country is a product of that. I wish your family well.
