This Memorial Day we had a little family home evening to honor my grandpa Spafford. He served in WWII and was a war hero. My uncle Rick had sent out a letter to all the family about the wonderful service he gave to this country. I will have to get a copy of it and post it. He received 2 purple hearts, a bronze and silver star. He was brave and courageous! We wanted to say thank you to grandpa Spafford and to all the other men and women who helped defend and protect our freedom.
We got a bunch of red, white, and blue balloons to send off and wrote messages on them. We also sent pass along cards on them in case anyone came across the popped balloons. We tied the lesson into families and how we can be together forever. We told all the kids that not everyone knows that families can be together forever and we wanted to share that message with them. It was a great way to honor those who have served us.
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!
