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"
Thank you Boomer...you are absolutely right .

Nonie....you really hit the nail on the head and said it perfectly. They ARE OUR AMERICAN IDOLS!!
