but here it is again.
for some years passed now
my family has had a tradition of going
to the cemetery the saturday before memorial day,
bright and early in the morning,
to put flags on the veterans grave.
i'll admit.
when the tradition started,
i was probably the last one who wanted to do it.
i was young,
didn't fully understand the meaning,
and i was NOT a morning person.
however in the years recently,
i'm usually the one who makes sure we go.
there's something about it that i just love.
maybe it's because i get it now.
how truly blessed i am to live in this country.
the freedoms i have.
that are not free.
and it's just a small way i can show my gratitude.
holidays about this country,
and i the land that i live in
are my favorite.
thank you,
to all those you have sacrificed,
and are sacrificing their lives for us.
for me.
the land of the free...
because of the brave.
