Memorial Day we honored my Grandpa...
... and all the others who have served or are currently serving.
(my mom with the kids)
I want to cultivate in my children a "patriotic spirit"... and gratitude, for what our fellow countrymen and women have done to bless our lives and preserve our freedom.
... Because they have a heritage of service, and a heritage of love for God and country.
