The journey starts from little boys....to men



Memorial Day morning found Daniel at our house for the day. Lots of work at the farm did not allow for someone to watch him as equipment was being operated, so we got the pleasure of our little boy spending the day.


In order to honor our Veterans, and those that served, we wanted to fly our new American Flag.


When Daniel and I have the opportunity to ride together on the trip from Brunswick to Valley City after his day at pre-school, we play a game of "finding the American Flags" that are on display. He is very attentive and pleased with himself when he is able to spot an American Flag without any prompting. "I see one Nana"!


So it was a real treat for both of us to have him carry the flag to it's post at the front of our house. This year Daniel is big enough to carry it all by himself.


...........and big enough to salute!


May 25 was a day for remembering.....not a day off!

What a sweet little boy Daniel is, and how fortunate to have his Nana to help show him the way.
