"Happy Memorial Day"

Patriotism, as defined by our Webster's Dictionary, is the

devoted love, support, and defense of one's country; an absolute loyalty. When I was young this was taught to us not only in school, but also at home. I can still remember my father taking us outside to hang up the flag and with my mother, coming to the United States as a little girl and later on becoming a citizen,  saying that no matter what we were without we were always blessed just to have been born here. With that being said I feel that it is our responsibility as parents to do the same. 

And may God Bless America and our troops!

I pledge allegiance to the flag,
of the United States of America,
And to the republic for which it stands,
One nation, under God, indivisible, with
liberty and justice for all.
