Hell yes I agree! Being 18 I just had to sign up for selective service, and while the military is not in my planned future, It would be an honor to be able to serve for this country.

I didn't feel much like flying today but felt it may truly be a chance to show my respect.

The freedom to fly kites has actually been won thanks to men of Honour in some countries.

No one was at the park. The wind was gentle and the time was perfect to think about those who have served . I lost my last personal WWII Hero last year so this one is special.

Thanks Vet's :bigok:
