Remembering...why we stop to remember it's not just a day off from school

We try to always pay extra attention to holidays like Veteran's Day.   We talk about poppop and the wars he served.  It's very easy to look at holiday's like today as just another day off of school.  So I hope that as they grow up they will stop and pay attention to the little things.   This morning we picked up flowers and made our way to the Alabama National Cemetary in Montevallo AL. 

We found a section of the cemetary that had a small row of

Head stones.  All alone in the large field.  We stopped here to read

the names and put out our flowers...

Further into the cemetary down the road I looked over and

caught this shot of Seanie.  He was reading the name of a

23 year old who died in Iraq.  A picture of his daughter (or sister)

was propped up against the head stone. 

We did start our day off with a red, white and blue donut!

Thank you Donut Joes!

thank you for all that serve for our country..past present and future....
