Today we honor Memorial Day. We are forever thankful for the wonderful men and women who have served our country and given their lives for our freedom. What an important lesson Memorial Day is to teach our children about our country. It is so important to teach them that our freedom has been earned, to teach them about the amazing privileges we have in the United States and how to be so thankful for the men and women who have gone before us.
We made some yummy breakfast and our oldest son helped to make some American flag toast with strawberry jam and blueberries. He also drew an American flag to display in our home today and wrote USA on it.
We then went to the cemetery to pray for all of the men and women who have died serving our country and also stopped by our Samuel's gravesite and the kids left some American flags there. Their dad was working at the hospital today so there are no BBQ's or anything at our home today, but I am ok with that. We learned about and focused on the real meaning of Memorial Day in remembering those that our country has lost.
