Thank you for your daughter's service to our country. I am a weeper when it comes to the flag and those patriotic songs. Hugs!

Yes, your daughter will always be missed and her loss will be America's loss, since we need all those marvelous young folks to lead America to the right path.

Prayers sent your way, be proud of her and always remember that there are folks out here who do respect our flag and those who fought to make it strong.

Yes, it's very sad how the world is going these days.
That is something that would irritate me too. My husband served in the Navy for 25 yrs! Thank you and your hubby for standing. Sorry about your loss. I know it cuts deeply.

Thank you for your sacrifice for our country.

My DH, DD and DS are all service members who have placed their lives on the line for our freedom!

My thanks and prayers to you and your DH. Please keep standing. So sorry for the sacrafice you and your family have given. My DH and I were at a yard sale and my husband took out his wallet to pay for something and the lady saw he had a retired military ID, 22 yrs in the Navy and she thanked him for his service. that was so neat for my husband, first time anyone had thanked him. My Dad was in 28 yrs....I stood at a school concert when they closed the program with "God Bless America, but so did a lot of others after I stood. I was so glad I did...we just have to keep doing this little by little. unlike some other countries we do not force people to honor our flag, so we need to bee the examples like you and your DH. Bless you

Thank you for your DD's service. I never knew my grandfather because of WWII. My entire family has served in the military (except my Dad who wasn't allowed because of his dad). We all stand.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your dear daughter. I thank the Military every day for my freedoms.

I would have stood up at the first bars of any patriotic song. Young people today have no idea what our flag really means and the freedoms they have. Even at home, I always stand when the anthems are sung at baseball and football games. My Nieces used to ask why, now they either stand or are conveniently in another room at the start of games and parades. However, I always let them know they just missed a chance to show respect for and honor their country. Maybe someday it will sink in.......................My Dad was a weapons specialist in WWII, we were lucky, he made it home.

We too would have stood with you. Our son is being deployed as I type...1 more month stateside and then back to the sandbox for him again.

Words can't say thank you enough to your daughter and her family.

So sorry for the loss of your daughter. Know that there are many of us who appreciate the sacrifice she (and her family) made for this country. Sending many hugs your way. My husband spent 25 yrs in the Air Force and it really angers me when I see people not standing or covering their hearts for the Pledge of Allegiance or National Anthem or any event where our flag is featured. Our children are no longer even being taught this respect in the public schools and we should be ashamed for allowing this to happen. And there are just too many adults who just don't care. Thank God for those who do care enough to enter the military and fight for this great country and the freedoms we enjoy.
