This year Veteran's Day took on a different light. First the kids had no school. Second and most importantly our dear friends the Griffins lost their son Dale in Afghanistan. The funeral was today. It was very sad yet we definitely felt the spirit in so many ways. It made us all proud to be Americans and helped us remember that freedom is not free.
Terre Haute had a Veteran's Day Parade. Dale's body lead the parade and this was the funeral processional. I have never been to a quiet parade like this. It was very sobering. I don't think there was a dry eye in the crowd. We are so grateful for the wonderful example of the Griffin family and we have been blessed as a family as we are able to pray daily for their comfort and strength daily. May we all remember!
