I had all intentions of already doing this article for Memorial Day, but I believe things never happen in God’s world by mistake.

I never dreamed of ever being able to visit Washington D.C., BUT I am here. As we drove down the street toward the Washington Memorial

it was all I could do not to burst into tears. Then on a wrong turn we ended up across a bridge and on the way back across, I turned and there was  the dome of the Capitol Building,

and at that moment I realized just how much all those who serve/served have sacrificed for us all to be able to live in the USA.

My dad served in the Navy on the U.S.S Maury DD401 during WWII and my husband served during Vietnam and retired from the Army.

Thank you to all who have served to protect our freedoms  that we have today.
