Today is a great day, I am so glad we have Veterans day to honor all of the men and women who have served our country. If I ran the country they would all be well taken care of and never have to worry about anything for serving our country and allowing us to have our freedoms. A month ago my grandfather passed away, he served in the Air force in WWII and Korea. He was defiantly my HERO. At his funeral they had the color guard the did the 21 gun solute and then they present someone with the flag. I had the honor of receiving the flag. I will Cherish that flag forever. Here are a few pictures of my grandfathers medals and the flag at his funeral. (don't worry no dead people) On the weird funny side, my grandpa was cremated, the past couple of days I keep having dreams about him, and just have a feeling he has been with me, well last night I was cleaning off the counter to find out my brother had left my grandpa sitting on my counter. I said all along that I did not want to have his ashes in my house but I guess I just needed a reminder of what today was all about. Sorry for the crazy sad post.
At the funeral we all wore red socks because those were the only color socks he wore, but you can not buy red socks so we had to die them, so they are a little pink.
