Every year, the ghost kids come with me to a cemetery and give thanks to the many men and women who have served our country. Last year was our first trip to the local Leesburg cemetery, where we found a soldier who had fought in the Spanish American war, a few veterans of the CSA, as well as veterans from every war in the 20th century. There was even a 20-year-old man who had served in this century. On that first visit we noticed a few graves that had no flag to celebrate their service to our country, so this year we brought a handful of flags and placed them on the unadorned sites. Sadly, we ran out of flags long before we ran out of veterans.
So here's to all the men and women who have served and sacrificed for our country. And to those who are now serving, we thank you for your service and pray for your safety. You are not forgotten.
