May
Yesterday, my family and I went to the Jackson Township Safety Center in Massillon, Ohio to visit the Field of Heroes, where more than 900 American flags are flying atop 8-foot tall staffs to honor those who have served, or are serving, in our armed forces.
We made the trip especially to see the flag my mom purchased in her father’s name. A sergeant in the Army, he fought in the South Pacific during World War II.
Standing among all those flags at sunset as a young man played “Taps” was incredibly moving. (I took this photo just before sunset.)
On this Memorial Day, please take a moment to reflect on the many men and women who have given their lives in service to their country.
