On the last day of our annual father/son birthday trip, my son and I took extra time searching out the perfect souvenir for my daughters. 

American Flag flying over Buchenwald Concentration Camp

I would respectfully add this one thought in memory of all the men and women who have served, and continue to serve, in our armed forces.

It is my solemn belief that the best way we can respect their memory is to give more than we think we can to strengthen our communities, serve the less fortunate, and respect our fellow citizens.

In our small sacrifice we make their sacrifice more meaningful.
