I agree w/ you on trivializing words! What we speak, we believe.

And we need more BIL’s like yours out there fighting pirates. I think the military would give a lot of our high school graduates a greater sense of purpose than the college life. It’s hard to believe that the men from the Greatest Generation were the same age as our boys at frat parties doing keg stands.

I still greet veterans in public when I see them wearing their hats with their ship’s name and such. I’m even at the point when I see men about my dad’s age (My dad was a Staff Sargent in the Army during WWII) I’ll ask if they served. Most men did. In fact tonight my dad was telling me that his older married brother, Steve, was drafted when more men were needed (married men with children were exempt until the end). He was only in one week when the Japanese surrendered. Steve was home on furlough (after only 1 week? Perhaps 1 week after boot camp) so they merely told him, “Hey, no need to come back”. Imagine being a veteran for 1 week of service!

And I for one hate getting The Higglytown Heroes song stuck in my head.

I don’t think Disney means any harm with the show and certainly it isn’t immoral, but that doesn’t mean it really teaches our kids the important stuff. So glad you are not one of those moms who just turns on the t.v. and walks away without a second thought as to what they are watching.

The world needs more circus leaders, I mean, moms like you.
