Its funny really…

In school, saying the pledge was such an annoying task. Every morning we would stand up, say it, sit down, and act like nothing happened. Same thing during sports. We would stare at the stars and stripes, hand over our hearts, not really thinking about anything except the snack bar line. Until I fell for an (almost) U.S. Marine, I sat down and really began to think of how much the flag stands for, and how proud I am of him that he is defending the freedoms we have fought so hard to have. Now, Each day I jump up from my seat and say the Pledge of Allegiance with my heart, and I proudly sing the national anthem, Knowing that my Marine, is defending my freedom, and everyone’s here at home. I love my almost U.S Marine, His brother, and every other Man and Woman, defending our great country <3 God Bless the Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Navy, Air Force, Army, National Guard, and any other soldier defending us <3.
