Our route through the Endless Mountains took our breath away as miles and miles of lush forest rose up in every direction, and memories of scenes that spectacular stick around. Thrilled with the privacy of our campsite tucked beneath a canopy of oak and hickory trees, we readied The Dreamcatcher for the 4th of July holiday and eagerly anticipated Sarah and Charlotte's arrival. We hoped they'd love the splashes of red, white and blue we'd placed around not only in honor of our country's independence but, also, in honor of Dan's service to this great nation as a military police officer. His work kept him from joining us. The three of them live a life of sacrifice as he serves, and our hearts swell with pride as our hands fold in prayer for their strength and endurance. May God bless them and all who serve, and may God bless America!
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
