Memorial Day 2010

This Memorial day I am thankful for the men and women who have sacrificed their lives for their country. I am proud to call myself an American. I count it a priviledge to recite the Pledge of Alligence with my students- it's something I don't take lightly. Sometimes I wonder how much longer it will be before "one Nation under God" is taken out.

"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."

I'm proud to call these two navy men my grandfathers.

Here is a link to my Paw Paw Butler recalling his service in WWII:

This is a picture of my Paw Paw Dancy. He also served in the NAVY during WWII:
