I am so sorry for your loss but so thankful your daughter was willing to give her all for us. Patriotic songs always bring a tear to my eye as I am the daughter, daughter in law, and wife of military men. It gives me a great deal of pride when I see my grown children standing for the flag or patriotic songs but saddens me to see their peers sitting on their butts. If I'm at a parade and young people are sitting on the curb I'll say, "can I help you up?" with a big smile. Sometimes that will shame some of them into standing. It is very sad that people in general (unfortunately its not only the youngsters :cry: ) don't respect the symbols of our great nation.
