Band of Brothers

Almost everyone remembers the New York Times Bestseller Stephen E. Ambrose book entitled "Band of Brothers." This was also an HBO Mini-Series which was widely viewed. At the current time we are seeing an abundance of "War Time" Movies. One that I have to see is "Flags of our Fathers."

From Nathan Hale, a Revolutionary War Hero, through George Shannon and John Colter who saw serve with the Corps of Discovery with Lewis and Clark to the modern day Heroes who currently serve our Nation in the War On Terrorism we have hundreds of thousands who have dedicated their lives to the cause of Freedom. By there service to our Nation, they have unknowingly become a member of the "Band of Brothers." You can usually determine who these Heroes are by observing who stands tall at any public event when our National Anthem is performed. They also stand tall when our Flag passes by during a parade.

Today, I, Flower Child, take the time to discuss these Heroes in this post. We all can take great pride in the "Band of Brothers" who have served our grateful nation. Yes, I am also aware that we have females who have served our Nation. I also take this opportunity to salute these members.
