We go to all our grandchildren's school functions. Love them all; but today was different.
These eight-graders presented their thanks to our veterans in such a heartwarming and inspiring way; I'm still in awe.
There were poems, essays and many others reminders of the sacrifices of what was given in the name and meaning of patriotism.
I had to keep holding back the tears, in fear of embarrassing our granddaughter in front of her friends.
Then, at the reception that followed, I learned I was not alone. We were all feeling the same emotion.
Scientists tell us the heart does not feel; it's the brain that controls out emotions. The feeling I had today, did not come from my head; it came from within my heart. I could feel it.
God bless our veterans and God bless America.

Well said, and well done by your granddaughter's school. :)
I was uplifting to see young Americans with a sense of patriotism - and heartwarming to watch a common thread that brings all ages together - our great country.
