patriotism

We've been going to Schlitterbahn in New Braunfels for nearly 30 years, and this was the first time this happened.

September 11, 2001...

As has become tradition, the city of Huntington rolled out the red, white, and blue carpet for our veterans

My dad is a US Navy veteran, and he's committed to flying the US flag several days each year.  He hits the obvious ones like Memorial Day and the 4th of July, but the most important day to him might be June 14th.

"Dear gutless, worthless terrorist cowards, here's a message from Billy Dean and me." That's straight from the heart and pen of country music legend, Larry Gatlin.

While most of us will be celebrating Independence Day with sizzling grills, chilling beers and bursting fireworks, one Texan took his patriotism to a whole new level, by traveling to all 50 states and shooting video of himself waving the American flag in each one.

There are certain days of the year which call attention to those that serve or have served our country...Veteran's Day and Armed Forces Day to name a couple.  That's a good thing, but we should show the same outward respect and gratefulness the other 363 days of the year as well.  It's nice to see that a Midwestern Harley-Davidson dealership feels the same way.

One of my favorite definitions of character is 'when someone does the right thing especially when no one is watching'.  Or as this story goes, when you think no one is watching.
