Memorial Day & Respect of the Flag

Happy Memorial Day!

I would like to thank all of our Military personnel and Veterans who have served our country and helped keep it free.

I would, also, like to point out that, here lately, every time I have been present for the Presenting of the US Flag, the only people I see showing respect by standing and placing their hands over their hearts are the Veterans.

This is a shame!

I get so upset when I see people ignoring the significance of what our Colors represent. Our flag is a continuing statement of the sacrifice our Veterans have made since the beginning of our country. When we disrespect our flag, we are spitting on the memories and sacrifice of those who suffered to keep us free.

So, I ask all who read this: PLEASE Stand and Show Respect when Old Glory is being presented. Set the example for the little ones who are watching you. When you do this you will honor a Veteran's memory.

God Bless,
Mindy Millington
