We had a very meaningful Memorial Day. We ...Cindy,<br />We had a very meaningful Memorial Day. We went to church Sunday evening (Memorial Day Eve)for prayer. Members of the congreation called out names of service personnel, military/veteran concerns, national leaders, and our towns recently activated National Guard unit and we prayed after each. It was very moving. Then, we headed outside for a flag changing ceremony in front of our church...out with the old in with the new. And then, shared finger foods together! It was very patriotic and refreshing to see a crip American flag flapping in the wind after praying for those who help secure the freedom to pray and go to church.<br /><br />We also had a fun 13th anniversary dinner (complete with our 5 year old falling in a swamp puddle...not so different than the fire during photos at our wedding = memorable!) :)barefootofferinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484520439232095907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5104359169425872233.post-90060070182241626952011-05-30T15:56:11.500-04:002011-05-30T15:56:11.500-04:00Awesome!

I have big issues with it so I'll sidestep the 'meaning' of it and let you know that the Coopersville/Marne Railway has reduced prices on Memorial Day, and it's free for Veterans. It's really neat, kind of long... but the kids love it and it's a fantastic tribute.Jen @ BigBinderhttp://www.thebigbinder.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5104359169425872233.post-44091502747710735402011-05-27T15:04:08.074-04:002011-05-27T15:04:08.074-04:00Ok, I feel guilty because I don't really celeb...Ok, I feel guilty because I don't really celebrate Memorial Day either.
