As a kid I always remember that the Fourth of July was always a little special. Yes, we still had things to do but we always took time to put out Old Glory; my parents told me that it stood for freedom and for those that gave their lives so that we could enjoy that freedom. I never had anyone close that served in a war but I had some cousins that gave their lives. For them and others that served, I'm grateful. I always enjoyed traditional chuck wagon breakfast into Paris, then usually back to hauling hay. After evening chores we would go watch fireworks. But today as I came home from work it hurt to see that we had the only flag on the block. I hope that you all took time to fly Old Glory and think about what it stands for. HAPPY 4TH OF JULY. Considering that tomorrow is the Fourth, hopefully we'll see more flags

When you were a kid wasn't there only 13 stars on the flag? Just kidding, I to am grateful for those that serve and protect.
