Honoring our Veterans

On Veteran's Day, the kids and I bought some flags at Wal-Mart (Made in the USA - can you believe it? No Chinese flags here! hah) and went to the gorgeous cemetery here in Everett. The history in this cemetery is amazing! I helped Matthew find the military ones and explained what a veteran is and why it was significant and what the flags represent. He didn't really understand it all until we got back in the car to leave, then wanted to drive through to see his flags again - as we drove by, he saw that his flags were in front of some headstones and not others, and that everyone else who drives by will now know they were veterans, and honor them. Matthew got it! :D
