TheTrue meaning of an honored holiday is so important.

So many find it easy to forget what the holiday is all about, and kids are thrilled to get an extra day off of school.

Yesterday I was in awe of the beauty of our enormous poppy patch in front of our house. It was a startling but beautiful reminder of all our Veterans who sacrificed their lives so we could live freely and happily.
God bless our veterans and all of our future veterans who protect us every day. They are our true heroes.:They are my "American Idols"
