The National Anthem
Today, thanks to my awesome sister-in-law, we got to go to the Rockford AirFest. Growing up, I’m not sure I ever really attended an air show, but Heidi’s dad is a pilot and I have definitely been bitten by the aviation bug. As the air show began, a team of paratroopers glided down, and one of them had an American flag attached. The National Anthem began to play, and I realized that it has been a long time since I had heard it! A couple of tears welled up (but I think I hid them pretty well) as I thought about how good it was to be in the US for a time. I love the country God has sent us to, but I don’t imagine I will be crying at Il Canto degli Italiani anytime soon.
