It’s so random how I can remember exactly what I posted a year ago on my blog. I woke up this morning thinking about what I posted last 4th of July and was thinking, “Too bad! I’d like to post that again!” Well, since Independence Day comes along every year, I figured this post could, too. In fact, to be truly redundant, I’m going to post a picture I’ve posted before, too.
This is one of several makeshift cemeteries for fallen soldiers in the Korean War. My great uncle took this picture. Doesn’t that just make it more chilling? And just looking at those white tombstones…it’s exactly how war heroes are honored here. They just wanted it to look the same? Honor them as much as possible? It literally brings tears to my eyes thinking about it. (more family pictures of Korean War here)

And now, here’s what I posted last year—a link to Adventures In Odyssey. These radio dramas are completely family friendly, not to mention totally high quality and extremely fun! Click here and you’ll see FIVE complete episodes about exciting events in our country’s history. Including my very favorite, “The Day Independence Came”, when a young boy goes back in time to the Revolutionary War!
Each episode is only about 20-30 minutes long, I promise your family will love to listen. And I’m sure that it will add to the meaning of your holiday experience–I’m trying to figure how to get them on my ipod before we go anywhere today!
Thank you, God for the men and women who have given the ultimate price for our freedom! Thank you for the unbelievable gift of living in this country!
Happy Independence Day!

When I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Thanks!
