"It's a flag blowin' in the summer wind over some fallen hero's grave"

I went up to the cemetery yesterday to visit my grandpa's grave and to see the flowers and flags for Memorial Day. The wind was blowing pretty hard and the flags looked so awesome! I thought of these words from the Rodney Atkins song It's America, "It's a flag blowin' in the summer wind over some fallen hero's grave."

The pictures don't do it justice, it was so much cooler than it looks here.

The headstone for my grandpa's grave finally came a couple weeks ago. I think it turned out very well...

The front. . .

The back. . .

In person it looks so much better because you can see all the intricate details. If you look in the kitchen window in the house you can make out a shape. The people who put the stone in said that it was grandpa eating breakfast. The details on both the front and back are amazing.

I'm grateful for those who serve our country so I can have the freedoms and opportunities that I do. In America . . .

It's a high school prom

It's a Springsteen song

It's a ride in a Chevrolet

It's a man on the moon

And fireflies in June

Kids sellin' lemonade

It's cities and farms

And open arms

One nation under God

It's America

Cause it's a kid with a chance

It's a rock n roll band

It's a farmer cuttin' hay

It's America
