Amanda and I spent a few days at the campus of LSU last week for my work. Most of you know by now that I play the organ for horse shows. This was the Louisiana Fall Festival.
One morning we got to campus a little early and decided to take a walk. We saw this beautiful American flag in a grassy field and were drawn to it. If you look closely you can see Amanda standing at the base of the flagpole and it gives you some perspective on just how big this flag was. The musical sound of the folds dancing in the fall breeze was just amazing.
As this week passed, with the news of balloon mom and dad pleading guilty, the poor bastard, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed who is being tried in NYC for the heinous acts of 9/11, the shooting at Fort Hood... I tried to pause a few moments and reflect on some worthy people.
Our great country enjoys freedom and peace because of our Veterans. Those serving now and in the past are deserving of all our gratitude and honor. I am humbled at the thought of their bravery. In the coming season of Thanksgiving, lets all be sure to thank a few more Vets post Veteran's Day.
