We went to a Patriotic Music Concert  

That sounds really cool, glad you had fun!

Oh, that sounds so fun and sounds like you had a good evening out. Churches can do some really high class presentations, because they have passion about the materials.

Sounds like al lenjoyed it.
Didnt hear about anything happening here but could have been did wathc the news as I have out of town Company! youngest son out from Tenn. been real busy!

Man! ...I would have loved to have been there. Remember December 7, 1941? I don't think the young people today don't even know what happened then. Now, we go all out to celebrate(?) 9/11. It will be interesting to see how much celebration takes place on the 7th of December this year!

I've been watching the PBS series "Liberty, The American Revolution", it is a great documentary, it's too bad they can't take a little time through the school year to show this patriotic series.

Just and old soldier's opinion.

That's wonderful to hear :-) It's nice to know that patriotism is alive and well. Glad to hear your son enjoyed it too. Maybe it's just me, but I've noticed that the smaller townships (at least out here) are the only ones who still do this kind of thing. The only way to raise a future patriotic generation is to show them that we adults value it, and that it's a good attribute. To have such a packed turn-out says a lot about how there are people who still care about this. Your post put a smile on my face this morning :-) We should never forget the men and women who served our country, and those who are serving now. Their selfless acts of courage to keep our country free should never, ever, be forgotten.

That sounds like a wonderful concert! Was it for 9/11 or 9/12 or just because this is a wonderful place to live? I'm glad every day that I live here, even with the troubles we are having right now.

I would have really enjoyed that & i'm glad U & your son did. Everyone should appreciate our milatary & let them know in every way they can.

That sounds great! Churches and other places should do that more often, instead of waiting for the anniversary of a catastrophe. Don't get me wrong, I think it's great to do it then, but it would be good to do it other times, too.

I think that's great to show appreciation towards our Armed Forces. I don't know about you, but it's great to get all branches together in one setting. Along with the local police, firefighters and paramedics. Being prior Navy myself, and now a National Guards wife, I think it's wonderful to show all the younger generation that these men and women should be appreciated for all that they do. Sad that they didn't honor the National Guard, they probably did, just hard to pull them out of a crowd when their uniforms matches up with their active counter parts. I have never seen a 21 gun salute done, since it's done at funerals and special events. Glad that your son got to enjoy it. Being prior Navy, I'm partial to the Navy's song of Anchors Away. Sends chills down my spine every time I hear it.

Go Navy!!!

Many times more communities and Churches could benefit from doing more things like this, and good to hear of your church doing something like this as well. It is very important that people realize the type of things these men and women do for us in the name of Freedom, and we all need to show our respect and say many Prayers daily for them as well.
