An Emblem of the Land I Love


     With the final countdown in motion for the 2016 election and the talk and actions of many in regards to America’s anthem and colors, I just wanted to reach out and say that I am blessed to be an American citizen.  I love living in America.  The freedoms that were given to me by sacrifices of my forefather’s are acknowledged and appreciated.  Over the past couple of decades I have had the unique opportunity to visit and enjoy so much of what this country has to offer.  I took a moment last night to go through my many photo CD’s and find images of the stars and stripes.  I wanted to share them with you, because no matter where my family went in this beautiful country, there was always a constant, a tangible symbol of what our forefathers created here.
