A Proud Moment

Two days ago we had parent/teacher conferences for both our boys. One of the things that my older son's teacher wanted to point out to me was his "job" for that week. Each week the kids are assigned a new job that is part of the class. His job last week was the flag bearer for the recital of the Plege of Allegiance. This was one of the things I asked about (I shouldn't have had to) when I went to his orientation. Did they recite the pledge in its entirety? His teacher was adamant about it, but had to give the kids the option of not saying "under god.":rolleyes: Anyway, she took him to the front of the room while mom and I stood in the back by the teachers desk and he grabbed the flag. He took the flag and held it out as if holding over the heads of all the other kids, and recited the pledge. My 4 year old almost jerked a tear from this proud dad. Wish I would have had a video camera. That is one of those memories that I will have forever.
