Anytime I look out the windows facing the back of our house, or coming down the street from taking the kids to school, I see the good old American flag waving above the houses. I can't help but think of my grandpa who was in WWII and my dad who was in Vietnam/Korea/Thailand, and the husband of my friend Tracey, who is on his way to war in Iraq. Whenever I try to talk to Tracey about it, I end up sounding like a blubbering fool. I just can't find the right words to express my thanks and gratitude and indebtedness for the sacrifice she and her husband are making for me and my family. Tracey, I'm praying for you, your kids, and your beloved sergeant. Many many prayers, not just from our family, but from millions of people all across the country, are going with him!

wonderful view. beautiful sentiment.
praying too!
My brother serves our country and has spent two years in Iraq. It is always in my thoughts and prayers.
Ann, I am not sure why the email address didn't work. I use it for my blog and I am still getting and receiving emails. Here it is: cometothetable@msn.com
Let me know if it still doesn't work.
So where is that flag located? Is it a school or something?
I agree on being thankful for our military service-especially the individuals.
Joanne, it's either the fire department or someone's house. I'll get a closer look and find out. I noticed that a lot of people have American flags up, and they are flying high. It's really neat.
Yes!! Thank you Tracey and family!
You know, it takes so little to express gratitude, and so many of us fail to do that. My dad is a WWII vet. He's 86!
Ann, you made my day!!! blessing, marina
What an incredible post! We are retired military and thanking your friend often will mean a lot. Blessings. God Bless the USA!
A nice view and a lovely post.
Thank you everyone for the thoughts and prayers. Andrea, you are not a blubbering fool (or whatever you said!)! I love that you care so much! You are a wonderful friend!
