I don't remember where this was taken, but I do recall what this flag represents. It stands for countless men and women who gave their time, their health, and their lives so that our country may remain free.
When I see these stars and stripes, I think of all the families throughout our nation who have said goodbye to loved ones being deployed to war-torn places. They had no reassurance that their loved one would ever return. So many didn't. We owe all these families, and especially those who serve, the utmost respect and appreciation.
Knowing that my son and my daughter-in-law have pledged their lives to defend our Constitution, I cannot help but take pride in the flag that represents that most precious document of our nation.
So, to everyone who calls America their home and loves this country, I say "Happy Independence Day," and to those who fought for and maintain that independence, I say "Thank you," and "God bless you!"
