This is MY America

Tonight I went to the U.S. Air force Memorial. The U.S. Air Force Concert Band was playing some classical arrangements. Each of the band members were dressed in their military uniform. I wish you all could have been there with me. From the memorial, you can see all of D.C. It was breathtaking to be able to listen to members of the U.S. Air Force play patriotic music all while overlooking D.C.

In front of us, were two young mothers with their young children. The girls were dressed in seersucker and they had ponytail braids. The children were coloring in coloring books, kissing their dolls and putting them to sleep, playing with toy planes, and dancing and twirling to the music. Then I looked over at the view of D.C. and noticed a father with his young son on his shoulders, dancing. They ended the performance with The Battle Hymn of the Republic. It was uplifting. It was faith promoting. It was America at its best.
