AMEN and thank you to you all for all you have done. I feel so proud that I have a grandson who is 9 years old today. From day one this little guy has know about the American Flag and the bald eagle. Then at age 1 1/2 he began to salute the flag with his grandpa....my West Virginia husband. Then at age 2 he was saying the Pledge of Allegiance. This has done nothing but progress to the point where we took him to Phila. and D.C. this summer for almost 2 weeks-----he wanted to see the Declaration!!!!! 8 years old and wanting this.....he knows that today is an important day and not just because he was born. GOD BLESS THE USA AND ALL THE VETS!!!!
