Just braggin a little about the western way of life. At the many ropings down here in Arizona they take the time before the roping begins to honor our flag and country. It is always special to see our flag carried around the arena.
It is also special to see the respect the cowboys give to the flag. I was watching at a roping a couple of days ago as the Star Spangled Banner was sung and the flag was carried in the arena. This particular roping was called a Legends Roping, it was for men over 60. As I looked out at the crowd of men stopped and giving their attention to the flag, I was taken back as I saw several of the men saluting the flag. These were men that had served years earlier in their lives.
May we NEVER take these men for granted and the sacrifices they have made. Please teach your children and grandchildren about the many sacrifices these men have made for our country. Explain to them the blessings that we have have come at a cost to many.
