The Story of America

This one is for the real policeman I met today.

It is America Day today. That's when we remember how America was born. There was a war that we won. Dadda says that it's ok to try your best in races, but not in a war. You have to win or lose- there's no trying your best.

America won that war. There was a guy on a boat and he was looking at the land and he knew if the flag was still there, that Americans won the battle. But if the flag was down, that means they lost. But in the morning the flag was still up and he was so happy. That's why we never let the American flag go on the ground.

We was driving today and we saw an American flag on the ground. It fell down from the pole. Dadda stopped and we got out to put it back up and another lady stopped too. She put the flag back up but there was a part of it that was still touching the ground. So me and dadda and Weston just took the flag and put it up where it couldn't touch the ground.

[Dad's Note: Bridger saw a Highway Patrolman at the gas station today and struck up a conversation with him.]
