A few of those boys have gone on to join the armed forces. When I think of them I think of their little faces from scouts not the grown men they are today.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09939851814144889532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575273532904617281.post-83062968776799766602010-09-08T18:39:03.759-04:002010-09-08T18:39:03.759-04:00Mary, I'd love it if the human race figured it...Mary, I'd love it if the human race figured it out too! But then I'd have nothing to write about :)<br /><br />We fly a Canadian flag in front of our house, but we're one of the few families that does (and to be honest, we only started that during the winter Olympics here in Vancouver). We Canucks aren't known for our patriotic furor, but I think most of our citizens are still proud of their country. In a quiet way :)Kaylea Crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09865705591442097978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575273532904617281.post-35644568895692070872010-09-08T13:46:42.207-04:002010-09-08T13:46:42.207-04:00What a thought provoking and amazing post - again ...What a thought provoking and amazing post - again Kim. <br /><br />You and I have had numerous discussions about this topic and I absolutely believe each of us does have the right to freedom of speech but at times I think the credo should be think it but don't say. Every thought rattling around in our head does not need to come out of your mouth especially those negative ones we are all too fond of expressing and don't forget if I disagree with you I also have that right. <br /><br />What I want the Westboro Church and its 20 members to remember is God loves every one of his children and I think the human race needs to practice what we so loudly like to preach.Mary Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531062571180646036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575273532904617281.post-66321822349545311772010-09-08T11:35:14.731-04:002010-09-08T11:35:14.731-04:00we have always flown a flag in our yard . we have ...we have always flown a flag in our yard . we have friend serving in Iraq and hubs says its a reminder for them to find their way home by.Jennifer Mathishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01348224965449535905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575273532904617281.post-71210782858103098032010-09-08T09:50:17.318-04:002010-09-08T09:50:17.318-04:00Wonderful post.

I have a flag in a case that was flown in Iraq that was sent to us by a unit that I was sending goodie boxes to.

My family got it as a gift from a neighbor when we became citizens. To me it represents our wonderful Nation and the many gifts it offers to all who come here. I also thank the military men, women and families who give so much so that we can have our Liberty and Freedom in this country. God Bless them.Caridad Pineirohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00566003222826223859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575273532904617281.post-565886305065213312010-09-08T08:02:49.404-04:002010-09-08T08:02:49.404-04:00Fantastic post!

Every time I see old glory flying high I think of those who fight/faught for our freedom both past and present.<br /><br />I taught my children to stand when veterans pass during a parade and am proud to say that as teenagers, they're usually the first ones on their feet.Sarah Grimmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03737049126767567901noreply@blogger.com
