Thirty Days of Thanks--Day Eleven

Today I am thankful for all the veteran's who have sacrificed to make freedom possible.  I love the country we live in.  I love the freedoms we have.  I'm grateful every day to be an American.

I'm especially thankful for my father-in-law, who was a veteran.  He loved flying the flag in his front yard.  He was a proud American.  He loved the country he had served.

We honored him this past memorial day, by raising the flag in his yard and reciting the pledge of allegiance.  So today, as I give thanks for the many who have sacrificed so much for this country, I am giving thanks for a wonderful man who has left behind a legacy to be proud of.
