A day for tribute

I think just about everyone knows someone who has served in the military and has gone on. I'd love to hear about your connection. My son recently joined the army, not one to remember yet, but my granddad served in WWII.

My husband's father served in the Korean War. Here's his flag--the case was made by my dad.


We all live pretty comfortable lives. And we all owe our freedom to the men and women who fought bravely, some giving the ultimate sacrifice. For whatever reason, they chose to be brave and fight, and we can never repay that debt. The least we can do is respect the dangerous job they volunteered to do and respect the flag that represents our freedom.

So while you're enjoying the day off with burgers and beers this holiday weekend, take a moment to remember why you get to enjoy it.


Thank you.

  2. The Goltz family has been in the U.S. so long that one of my ancestors from the Dakotas fought for the Union in the Civil War. My dad was in the Army Air Corps during WWII and then became a reservist in the Air Force when it was created. My brother was in the Air National Guard. I'm grateful to be able to say that I don't know of anyone in my family who died in a war. Too many of our citizens have lost loved ones.

    Love,
