I saw our Flag today, The colors were faded looking a little tired but still standing strong and proud in the summer wind. It reminded me of the Sons and Daughters of yesterday’s America who stood for my freedom years before I was born free in America. Over time many may have faded away but the glory and honor of their service to America will never fade. I saw our Flag today it flew bravely in the wind a bit tattered and worn but it's colors still strong , and proud over America. It flies for the Sons and Daughters of America who fought for my freedom, battle tested and hardened to stand against the forces that would take away my freedom. Like a battle flag they too stand in great pride and honor, battle scared , proud and selfless in their dedication to America and the freedom they protected. I saw a flag today. The colors were bright, strong and proud as it embraced in silence and great honor a fallen hero. An American Hero who stood up and made a commitment to duty, to our America and gave all to insure countless generations will live on in American freedom. Born in freedom and fallen in battle they will ever rest in the arms and hearts of a free and grateful America. I saw a flag pole today. It flew no glory but stood silently in the wind empty and alone for the absence of our colors. It reminded me of the Sons and Daughters of America who stood for my freedom who have yet to come home to the America they honorably served. America can only be completely free when every one of her Sons and Daughters of Freedom can come home, home to the America and the freedom they gave all to protect. Thank you American Heroes......On this Veterans Day and every day......I will never forget that I get to be here forever free because you were there for my freedom. Thank you for our freedom and the greatness of our America.

Thank you to all who have served, and all who sacrificed for our great nation, I truly pray that our nation is and will be worthy of your service and sacrifices. In the United States, Armed Forces Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in May. It falls near the end of Armed Forces Week, which begins on the second Saturday of May and ends on the third Sunday of May (the fourth if the month begins on a Sunday, as in 2016).[4] First observed on 20 May 1950, the day was created on 31 August 1949, to honor Americans serving in the five U.S. military branches – the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Air Force and U.S. Coast Guard – following the consolidation of the military services in the U.S. Department of Defense. It was intended to replace the separate Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard Days, but the separate days are still observed, especially within the respective services.[5] The first Armed Forces Day was celebrated by parades, open houses, receptions and air shows. The United States' longest continuously running Armed Forces Day Parade is held in Chattanooga, Tennessee. In 2016, Chattanooga celebrated the 67th year of the Armed Forces Day Parade, which also began in 1950.[38] Bremerton Washington Held its 78th Annual Armed Forces Day Parade on May 21 2016 so that is the Longest running. That one was held in 1949 and actually was the reason that An Armed Forces Day in the USA was created!!!! Because of their unique training schedules, National Guard and Reserve units may celebrate Armed Forces Day/Week over any period in the month of May.
