[Beth n Rod]

We fly the flag here on National Holidays. But I don't wear flag jewelry. I am a very proud American with roots to our founders. I'm moved by our anthems and fireworks displays. I remember our fallen soldiers and have visited monuments with friends who have lost loved ones. And at my daughter's middle school graduation I forgot to put my hand over my heart until about half way through the anthem...why...I was preoccupied and caught up in the occasion since my son had also graduated High School that day. Oh well. I really don't think I'm unpatriotic because of that. It is what it is.
