I think daily of the Fathers/Mothers, Sons/Daughters, Brothers/Sisters and Husbands/Wives who may have died that day ensuring our Freedom because they valiantly died for me and my family as well. Yet not many know that Texas last week suffered the most senseless tragedies of any State with 3. If you know of a high ranking political figure please ask them why we don't fly our Nations flag at Half Staff everyday; I can't get an answer but I personally don't think you should have to be a 'public' or 'well known' person to be honored...Soldiers deserve it as well.
