Yesterday evening, my neighborhood, Carolina Colours dedicated a flagpole in memory of my husband. The dedication ceremony was well attended by many neighbors wearing red in honor of our military. My children hoisted the first flag. I spoke briefly at the ceremony and wanted to share a little bit of my comments....
I came across this quote recently. I thought it was very fitting for today's occasion.
"The flag doesn't wave because the wind blows it. It waves with the last breath of every service member that has given his life for this grand and great nation."
So today as my children raise our nation's flag up the newly dedicated flagpole, I will remember my husband and all those who have fallen in defense of our country. I will also honor their service and be forever grateful for the sacrifice they have made.
