Freedom is Not Free
~Kelly Strong~

I watched the flag pass by one day.
It fluttered in the breeze.
A young Marine saluted it,
and then he stood at ease.
I looked at him in uniform
So young, so tall, so proud,
He'd stand out in any crowd.
I thought how many men like him
Had fallen through the years.
How many died on Foreign soil?
How many mother's tears?
How many Pilot's planes shot down?
How many died at sea?
How many foxholes were soldiers' graves?
NO, freedom isn't free.
I heard the sounds of TAPS one night,
When everything was still
I listened to the bugler play
And felt a sudden chill.
I wondered just how many times
That TAPS had meant "AMEN,"
When a flag had draped a coffin
Of a brother or a friend.
I thought of all the children,
Of the mothers and the wives,
Of fathers, sons and husbands
With interrupted lives.
I thought about a graveyard
At the bottom of the sea
Of unmarked graves in Arlington.
NO, freedom isn't free.

Proud Mommy!

Today we received Nico's end of the year Progress report from Pre-School. We still have some things to work on but mostly he received G's, which is Good Progress. We are so proud of our little man who is growing up way to fast before our eyes! We love you Nicolas Aaron!!!!

Until our next "Pre-School" adventure....

Pentagon Memorial

Washington, DC

This Memorial was something that even almost 10 years later hit hard and opened a wound that I didn't know was still not healed. When April and I walked past the Pentagon to the Memorial next door, it was a peaceful and quiet place where it honored those who lost their lives that day at the Pentagon. A place for family and friends to say goodbye to the one's they lost and for all of us to pay respects for those Hero's who tragically lost their lives on September 11, 2001.

To me, it was one of those surreal moments in your life as it was when April and I visited the Flight 93 Memorial last year. You can read about our experiences Here. We can just thank God for allowing us to live our lives and say a prayer for the families and those who lost their lives that day.

**Sidenote***

When they say do not take photographs of the Pentagon Building they are very serious, some people found out very quickly. It wasn't us don't worry.

I HAVE BEEN A TERRIBLE BLOGGER LATELY....

PLEASE FORGIVE ME....

I PROMISE I'LL BE BACK AT IT SHORTLY!!!!

AND THOSE OF YOU WHO FOLLOW MY PHOTOSHOWS....
