During our Veterans' Assembly on Friday, as I watched the Veterans stand, saluting the flag, with a look of love and respect on each of their faces, I realized how blessed we are to have individuals that are willing to risk their lives, mentally and physically, for the freedoms we take for granted.  I also realized that it is up to us to make sure that the next generation has that same love and respect for our flag and for our free country.  They must be taught about respect, gratitude and sacrifice in order for them to be able to have these same characteristics in their hearts as they sing the National Anthem, say the Pledge of Alliance, or watch a flag go by in a parade.  Let us each set an example for them to see and emulate.

A huge thank you to all those who have, or are still, serving our country!  We love you!
