Maw Maw got Kellen a 2008 flag shirt and we wanted him to wear it in celebration of Memorial Day. The problem was that he was already dressed yesterday morning when we got the shirt out. For those of you that don't know, once Kellen gets dressed, it's rather difficult to get him to change his clothes unless you have a REALLY GOOD REASON.
So, I sat down and talked with him about Memorial Day...What it means, why we celebrate it, and why we wanted him to wear his special flag shirt.
For the rest of the day, he went up to people, pointed out his flag shirt, and proclaimed something to the effect of,
"I'm wearing this flag shirt to remember all of the people who have fought and died so that we can live and be free."
Thank you to all who have given the ultimate sacrifice so that we can do just that...and thank you to the families of those individuals. God Bless you.
