Thank you to all the brave men and women who are serving or have served in our nation's armed forces.
The boys always think of their grandfather whenever we talk about the military. It is a good reference point. They know he was in the Marines. They are still learning about the divisions in the military. They still don't get the difference between the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines. But they do know that the Marines are the best. That certainly makes my Dad happy.
The boys are also starting understand sacrifice. And more importantly the sacrifice specific to those that fought and died for this country. It is a fine line, having this conversation. Obviously, I don't want to scare them or give them nightmares. But I do want them to understand that holidays like these are about more than just a day off from school.
