What's a Partiotic Holiday without a picnic?!
Well, it's mid-November, and we possibly could have had our picnic outside, I wanted to surprise Paige and Taylor and have one set up for them when I yelled it was time for lunch. (No school today for Paige) They were very surprise. Before I get into my patriotic Thank Yous, I would like to thank Stanley's produce market for always having great sales, like the $.98 watermelon today that led to our picnic. Now on to the mushy stuff.
I am so thankful to all of those who give up so much to protect the freedoms that we all too often take for granted. I would also like to thank their families that give them up for us. On more specific terms, I would like to thank the following people that are close to me for their services:
My brother Jimmy (Marine Corps)
Grandpa JW Jetton (Army)
Grandpa Frank Ginnett (Air Force)
Grandpa Robert Osburn (Navy)
Uncle Clyde Ginnett (Army)
Uncle Don Ginnett (Army)
Adopted Dad Larry McGarrah (National Guard)
Friend Jeff Davis (Army)
Friend Jay Morris (Marine Corps)
Grandma Faye Osburn (Army wives)
Grandma Marjorie Jetton (Rosie the Rivetor)
I'm sure I have left someone off the list, but I want them all to know how much we appreciate them.

Song: Proud To Be An American
If tomorrow all the things were gone,
I’d worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,
with just my children and my wife.
I’d thank my lucky stars,
to be livin here today.
‘ Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
and they can’t take that away.
And I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.
From the lakes of Minnesota,
to the hills of Tennessee.
Across the plains of Texas,
From sea to shining sea.
From Detroit down to Houston,
and New York to L.A.
Well there's pride in every American heart,
and its time we stand and say.
That I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.
And I’m proud to be and American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.
