Many of you know I bleed Garnet and Gold, but before I became a rabid FSU fan I was and still am a very patriotic person. As an Army brat I was taught from the get go just what it meant to be an American, and just what our servicemen went thru to make sure all our US citizens could live free. Then in the 60s, Vietnam happened and not only did my Daddy go to Vietnam (twice, got a Purple Heart and the Bronze Star for saving his whole group of men he was in charge of), but friends I went to HS with and many other young men including my U.S. Marine Corps husband.
I have always flown a flag at my house but when we finally got our land, we bought a real flag pole. I have been looking for years to "post" a U.S. Marine under my flag pole and yesterday I finally found him! It's just made my day! Just sharing my patriotism and love for our Soldiers protecting us. Can ya'll see the "Globe and Anchor" on the hat and button? Ooohrah and Semper Fi!
(Sorry Daddy, I'm a Marine wife, now).
