I'm really grateful for my family that has participated in conflicts to protect Justice and Peace. We are very fortunate to know so many that have fought and stood up for Truth, but have lived to tell about it. Each July that we visit The San Luis Valley, we always make a point to drive by and look at the Horray for Grandad Davis monument. I'm happy to have memories of Poppi singing or participating in the Mormon Batallion marching bands. We're Glad he was also able to be in the Navy and participate in WWII. Grandpa Holmes was involved in WWII as well. Even Abuleito Mejia particpated and stood up for the true and right in his Country of Honduras. How blessed our Children are to have such great examples in their grandparents. Our grandfathers may not have died in battle but their contributions were needed and they did make a difference.
Emelie especially seems to be very patriotic. She loves the flag. She knows an awful lot about American History and tends to have a great sense of appreciation and reverence for our freedom. Its Wonderful! She is ready to celebrate and theres no way I had to remind her to wear a flag shirt today! Family and spending time together is our highest priority and so it only fits that we meet and play at the park with the cousins!:) We are excited to see Rah Rah and share together thoughts and memories of yesteryear~
