What would you give?

What would you give up to make our country better?

To ensure the freedoms that we often take for granted?

Would you give your life?

Would you do it if you didn’t get any credit at all?

Nothing was more humbling than standing before the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington cemetary.

During our recent visit to Washington DC, we finished a very long day here. My exhausted children stood tall and silent as we watched the changing of the guards. June 2011.

Thank you to all who serve – past and present. We understand and empathize with many of the sacrifices military families face, yet still stand in awe and thanksgiving for those who have given their lives for our freedoms.

HERE RESTS IN HONORED GLORY AN

AMERICAN SOLDIER UNKNOWN BUT TO GOD.

    My husband and I went to Arlington cemetery a couple of months ago when visiting the US. It was a very sobering experience with so many mixed emotions felt.
    This is a place that all people should visit if they get a chance.
