I won't tell you the plot, because I don't want to ruin it, but I check it out for the kids regularly and I cry every time!Mike and Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10306648854229806494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-69307159900470485942011-05-31T00:17:32.240-04:002011-05-31T00:17:32.240-04:00That's awesome!

I am so proud of my husband's decision to defend our country and spend his life in service doing a meaningful job. I too am grateful to have gone to a school that said the pledge of allegiance. I LOVE that your family does parades and think it is the coolest tradition!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05812531635799455693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-56226695331255546892011-05-29T23:35:15.103-04:002011-05-29T23:35:15.103-04:00What a brave and dedicated boy!

Hearing that one of my boy...Same to you, Jocelyn! <br /><br />Hearing that one of my boys wanted to be a soldier would make me proud, but it would also strike fear into my heart. One of my best friends sweated it out when her son was in Afghanistan, Iraq anf other places on extremely dangerous special assignments, and I was so grateful that my children didn't go that route.<br /><br />I know that is a selfish response, because I love this country and deeply appreciate our soldiers. But I even had a hard time when my son was on a mission in a third world country....and all I had to worry about was dengue fever, malaria, and a few isolated terrorist factions.<br /><br />Happy Memorial Day. Tell your boy that a lady who loves your blog is really proud of him.<br /><br />=)Susan Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16049586085703324088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-28640144031305915292011-05-27T11:55:41.017-04:002011-05-27T11:55:41.017-04:00well, i do not want Guy to be a soldier. periodwell, i do not want Guy to be a soldier. periodSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15300961190388848899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-55036152897705309702011-05-27T11:13:34.050-04:002011-05-27T11:13:34.050-04:00Recently we attended a military band concert.

When they played the different service branches anthems, the band director asked the families of those that had a member of the different branches stand. It was really moving because not everyone stood in the audience. I love it!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10190522981503224243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-21081829626112965832011-05-27T08:58:51.560-04:002011-05-27T08:58:51.560-04:00Love this.
