Whenever a soldier came off a plane from the middle east in uniform it always made me proud to be an American. The airport would stop and give a standing ovation to the returning solidier. Sadly many members of our military were not greeted by family members or friends. The airport suddenly turned into their welcome squad.Mayor of Crazyvillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09576317877616590570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932410355772638647.post-2029675722389693142014-06-02T20:43:16.667-06:002014-06-02T20:43:16.667-06:00I use to spend a lot of time at Jackson-Hartsfield...I use to spend a lot of time at Jackson-Hartsfield Airport in Atlanta.

There were three grades to a classroom for the first 6 years of school. I do remember the 1-3 grades doing something to either win or make money to buy a flag for our room. I, too, tear up and get chills during the national anthem. Thanks for your memory invoking post!Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10359355308140058671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932410355772638647.post-8199288590336818642014-05-29T22:14:55.147-06:002014-05-29T22:14:55.147-06:00I didn't realize the melody for the Star Spang...I didn't realize the melody for the Star Spangled Banner was actually a drinking song! That's pretty funny. My daughters still say the Pledge of Allegiance at their school, and we teach it to our preschoolers. I think it's a good thing to keep doing!Ginny Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14579981666900022792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932410355772638647.post-47196778899864327382014-05-29T12:00:18.607-06:002014-05-29T12:00:18.607-06:00I can't remember what we were sitting down to ...I can't remember what we were sitting down to watch but the Star spangled banner came on and I wasn't even in the room but just hearing it made me tear up. I was actually surprised I even had that reaction. Whenever we've been to a sporting event and everyone is singing it? That is when I really feel like an American.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932410355772638647.post-88361650736423781882014-05-29T10:02:53.484-06:002014-05-29T10:02:53.484-06:00As a member of my town's Canada Day Committee ...As a member of my town's Canada Day Committee (a group that fundraises to have fireworks & a big celebration on our country's birthday) - I can say I feel very patriotic! The national anthem gives me goosebumps every time, and usually when we do our flag raising ceremony on Canada Day, I get choked up and can't even sing the whole anthem! lol!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11801639163897040531noreply@blogger.com
