I thought I would share one more picture from the past.
This is Griffin July 4, 2005. He was almost five months old. He was dressed in his red, white and blue and proudly displaying his flag.
This was a speech offered by President Bush about this Memorial Day on White House Radio:
"This Memorial Day, I ask all Americans to honor the sacrifices of those who have served you and our country. One way to do so is by joining in a moment of remembrance that will be marked across our country at 3:00 p.m. local time (eastern). At that moment, Major League Baseball games will pause, the National Memorial Day parade will halt, Amtrak trains will blow their whistles, and buglers in military cemeteries will play Taps. You can participate by placing a flag at a veteran's grave, taking your family to the battlefields where freedom was defended, or saying a silent prayer for all the Americans who were delivered out of the agony of war to meet their Creator. Their bravery has preserved the country we love so dearly."
May you have a lovely day ...
I hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day. Love the adorable picture of Griffin as a patriotic baby boy.
