While celebrating, thanking and honoring the Veterans that have fought for the freedoms we daily enjoy- we got to celebrate in a special way our own live-in HERO!
Brigham was asked to participate in a Veteran's Day program at the elementary school today. He represented the Army and two others represented the Air Force and Navy. They got to fly in on a helicopter to the school.
They received a hero's welcome as they walked down an aisle of students and high five'd them on the way.
They passed off a flag that they carried to a local boy scout troop. Who then raised it on the flag pole- to half mast. We pledged allegiance to the flag and sang the Star Spangled Banner.
Then we went inside and the veteran's addressed us. Brigham spoke on why we have a military and just did an amazing job. He spoke on how God made us a free nation and our military heroes have given their time and lives to keep us free. It was hard to hold back the tears. God Bless America
The land of the Free because of the Brave!
