Rubberbands...Symbols of Sacrifice and Love?

Can a rubberband be strong enough to bind the memory of a loved one to our hearts?

Please take just a moment to read this story of how one family honors the memory of a loved one who gave his life in service to our country. It's from a truly special Gold Star mom who posts over at Knottie's Niche.

I'm wearing a rubberband on my wrist the rest of the day, at least.

Remember.

"When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every Americanwas to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
