Default Re: Fly Our AMERICAN FLAGS !

Just before the 4th of July my neighbor's 15 year old daughter was talking to my wife and I about the meaning of the holiday and that she had never really understood it. I told her to rent "Saving Private Ryan", then come back and ask me that same question after watching that movie. Today while I was mowing the lawn she came over to ask me to help her with their lawn mower. We talked about what happened Tuesday and she looked around and said "it takes something this bad happen for the rest of the neighborhood to do what you do everyday." I said what do you mean by that, and then I figured it out before she answered. OLD GLORY flies everyday at my house.

She told me that she had never seen a war movie before but she did rent "Saving Pvt. Ryan" and watched it with her parents and cried the entire time. Now she is a little more aware of what the holiday and flag stands for.........GOD BLESS......RatPack...............
