Remember a Veteran Today

I feel confident most of you agree with me here. I sure am proud to be an American and to stop, reflect and realize what our forfathers and even a few current family members sacrificed in order for us to have the lives that we do. I would encourage you to take a moment today and remember all of our veterans. Each and every one has sacrificed more than we will ever know. We are blessed to live in a country that is rooted in freedom and bravery.

I have been saving this post on Floyd IV's trip this past June with Moms and Grandaddy to Ft. Knox, Kentucky, where Big Floyd had his Vietnam Batallion 26th Infantry Reunion. It was a very special time indeed and quite a learning experience for Little Floyd. They drove from Greenwood to Nashville where they were able to get a visit in with Aunt Blewett. Here is a pic taken at the Pancake Pantry on their way! Yummy.

While at Ft. Knox, Floyd was able to tour the barracks and attend some banquets for the honorees and meet a FOUR star General. Impressive!! All in all it was a very moving experience. The tour of the General Patton Museum was pretty awesome so I hear. I'm just so glad he got to experience a wonderful trip like this and we are proud of you Grandaddy Big Floyd for all you did for our country while serving in Vietnam!

So take time out and thank a Veteran today. We are mighty blessed indeed!!
