One thing my parents really taught us growing up was patriotism and to never take our freedoms for granted. Dave and I were both raised as "military brats" and both of us thankful for those experiences. My slide show below is just to pay tribute to those in my family serving/served in the military. I thank them for the examples they are and I thank their families for the many sacrifices they have made. A big thanks goes out to all of you!
Dad-Air force

Lee Hooper-Army

You can't be skinnier than me and have a better blog. I loved this post! We really are so blessed to have great patriots around us.
What a great post! So many have served in you're families. Such a great time of year to remember all those who have served and are serving. Hope you have a great 4th!
So you made me sit at my computer and cry. You need to add Papa Peck who served in the Army during the Korean War.
I am so proud of all of my patriots -- some of you wear the uniform and some of you are there to support those in uniform. I'm a proud Mom.
It is really neat to see your patriotism. I definitely take my freedoms for granted all too often. Thanks for reminding me of my blessings. Thanks to you family for protecting mine.

Thanks for the post. I love how patriotic our family is. Looking at all the pictures made me get all teary. Especially since Mike is gone right now.
Love your tribute! I too am so patriotic because of my family. Hope you don't mind if I steal your idea for a post! Are y'all going to the fireworks tomorrow night? Talk to you soon :)
Thanks Nicole.. That was nice..
