The thing that most people often forget is that the United States was founded and created through war. The wars fought in yesteryear had meaning and were filled with purpose. Americans were fighting for freedom and they had that mind set that made them unstoppable. As we move further away from those days, people are losing touch with that fact and forgetting what it cost for things to be they are today. I am sad to see the lack of patriotism in our nation today. I really can't believe that someone would dare burn our flag or fly their home nation's flag in its place. They (including our own President) say it's just a flag but I say it's a belief, a hope, a dream, and a way of life.EJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08954332816460285410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700623022602652788.post-24786760778795880582009-11-07T11:13:40.390-08:002009-11-07T11:13:40.390-08:00Great photos and an awesome tribute to your Dad. ...Great photos and an awesome tribute to your Dad. <br /><br />Thanks for visiting me.Debbie@Like a Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595737927336471561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700623022602652788.post-45128902600434453662009-11-07T10:19:14.170-08:002009-11-07T10:19:14.170-08:00What a great post for the theme and wonderful trib...What a great post for the theme and wonderful tribute to your father.Carverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05968919406427737503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700623022602652788.post-46585408259380788442009-11-07T09:46:08.948-08:002009-11-07T09:46:08.948-08:00A very powerful tribute to your father and whole f...A very powerful tribute to your father and whole family.

I've seen many of your dad's characteristics in my dad. Was it the military, the war, or just the time in which they were born? Your dad sounds like a great man.<br /><br />I also saw your picture over at Etcetera, etcetera.

I really love seeing old photos. Not sure if you are on Flickr Photos (free to join), but there are tons of groups and tons of old and new photos alike.
