What Fathers Day meant to me this year... By Tom Martin of United 4 Freedom

My Grandson Matthew, 18 months old and in the process of saying the Pledge of Allegiance. In his left hand is a small flag he generally waves while we say it, but I was unable to get that in the photo. We're blessed that he Loves his Flag, and stands tall while we recite our pledge each time he visits. From the Moment he arrives at our house, he points to the flag mumbling "uhnn uhnnn" (that’s Matthew talk for Please give me my flag) and Always get a huge smile on his face as soon as he has it in his hand. He immediately puts his right hand over his heart as soon as the flag is in his left.

Matthews’s patriotism reminded me this year that on Fathers Day, we need not only pay tribute to our Loved and in my case deceased dads, but as importantly we need to pay tribute to our Founding Fathers. The men who's Bravery, Honor, and Commitment granted us the most blessed Nation this planet has ever know. Men who were willing to swing from a Tree for the price of Freedom.

So my fellow patriots, it’s never too soon to teach respect for the things in which we honor, and I pray someday Matthew will teach his son, and tell him, "My grandpa, taught me this, so now I'm teaching you"

That’s what Fathers Day means to me... If he only remembers that, My time here on earth has been validated...

Matthew visited and gave me a New Patriotic shirt for Fathers Day, I wonder how he Knew I had worn out my others... Thank you Matthew, Nothing could have made me happier then spending the Day with such a Patriot like you...

God Bless the USA, those who defend her, and those who Honor the Cost of Freedom...
