Happy Memorial Day!
This is my 7-year old son, who followed me up the hill to take photos of our neighbor's American Flag. The flag is positioned at the top of a hill that overlooks the Santa Clarita Valley. No, it was not spontaneous. He was staring up at the flag and I thought a salute would make a patriotic image. I was right. :)

OH GLORY!
I watched to behold, Oh Glory, flying so bold
In the light of a bright blue sky
The wind passing through as she waves so true
And my pride was lifted high
Hand across our chest, knowing our nation is the best,
As she flies in the morning sun
So, lift her high and let her fly over our land,
where the cry for freedom had all begun
And let us stay the course, with no remorse,
for the foundation has been laid
Remembering the sacrifice of all the lives,
for an awesome price has truly been paid
The courage she declares with the message she bears,
Of freedom without fear
So when you see her fly, waving in the sky,
With freedom, lift up your voices with cheer!
