We attended the America 250 Freedom’s Melody event at University Mall on Monday night. It was so beautiful. Our sweet Jessica plays violin in the American Fork Symphony so it was wonderful to watch her.
The patriotic music will always get to me. Then they had the veterans stand and I nearly lost it. They were nearly all really older people which made it even more powerful. Standing for some songs. Hand over our hearts for others. Singing along when prompted and singing along anyway when we couldn’t help ourselves.
The kids marched around the pavillion and kids waved flags. I was filled with a deep, deep gratitude to live here in Utah where people don’t mind actually loving our country.
We are a patriot bunch and we will always be proud to be Americans.
What a beautiful evening.
Thanks Jessica for adding more culture to our lives!!
