GOD BLESS AMERICA

I so love America. I am so glad we are free. I love to see the American flag, and I fly it whenever I can. I appreciate the men and women who have given their lives for our freedom. My uncle Franklin Caras gave his life in Viet Nam. Joel's dad fought during WWII in the pacific. He never talked about it. Joel served his country during the Viet Nam war, as a medic. Joel's brother Phil took a bullet in the chest for our safety., He is a Orem City Police officer. My neighbor Dan is a fireman, who puts his life on the line whenever he fights a fire. My nephew Rory and his wife Katie are police officers as well. I pray for everyone's safety every day. My ancestors came to this wonderful country for their freedom. My great great grandfather Daly came from Ireland. HIs wife came from Ireland was well. My great great grandfather Victor Brandmeyer and his wife Genivieve came from France. My great great grandmother Mette Mortensen walked across the plains with the Willie Handcart Company. Her family wanted religious freedom. Where would we all be if someone before us had not risked their lives for our freedom????? Again I love America!!!!!!!
