Freedom

For Cub Scouts the other night, we went to a 

Gilbert Town Council meeting for 

"Operation Welcome Home". 

It is a program where the Town of Gilbert honors service men returning home from overseas. Anyone from the community is invited to attend to help honor them. I was so impressed with how many people came. It was a very moving patriotic night. And my neighbor was awesome and showed up with a big homemade sign and balloons.

I loved bringing these boys to that Town Council meeting so they could see some honorable men being recognized. 

The entire council meeting was surrounded with these "freedom riders" holding american flags. Such a beautiful display of patriotism. 

I hope my children grow up appreciating what great sacrifices have been made by normal people to help make our country great...  And grow up feeling inspired to want to do great things themselves.
