Memorial Day

DSC01891



Every year in the past we've spent Memorial Day at the beach or a cookout with friends and family. This year, we set the morning aside to observe the day for what it really is--a salute to the many soldiers who have died to keep America free.

Andrew's Sea Cadet unit was given the honor of participating in a Memorial Day event in Tequesta for American Legion Post 271. So, we loaded up the car with kids, some lawn chairs and my camera to honor our fallen veterans. I have to say, it was a sobering and tearful time of reflection and I am so glad we took the time to show the kids the reality of this day. This may just be a new family tradition!

I am so incredably proud of Andrew and of all of you to go and support him in the most honoring way (the way it suppose to be spent). What a great example you and Dave are. Love ya. Your sis in NC
