Below are the children of the Homefront with unique and candid answers to one question:

If you could do anything in the world, what would you do to celebrate Memorial Day?

“I wish we could let the people that aren’t free, because of the bad guys, do whatever they want to do like we can.  Like being able to wear what they want and say what they want.” – Mason age 5.

“I would watch My Little Pony.” – Alana age 3.

“I would look at old scrapbooks of our family and read about the old ones.” –Eve age 8 ½.

“Hmmm… I know… I’d take cinnamon and brown sugar and put in and bake it!” (she would bake) – Payton age 3

“We will probably have to clean the house but I would like to give food to people who use to fight but are old now. Oh and those guys fighting now, we could send them packages to show how much we miss them.” – Mikey age 8

“I eat chicken!” – Dylan age 3

“I would go to the graveyard with flowers.” – Riley age 8.

“I would go to the pool.” – Samantha age 7.

“I make a party for the barines (which means marines). And daddy and his friends can play. The barines can have cake in my house. And daddy and his friends don’t have to be guns no more.” – Ella age 2 ½

“I would give them the gospel.” – Tucker age 3 ½

“I would like to throw fireworks to celebrate this day. I think we should celebrate the day because of the people that died to remember them. If I was hosting the party, I would probably invite some of those people that lost their family and ask what they were like.” - Alyssa age 8.

“I’d color a picture for you mommy and someone else too” – Maddie age 4

“I would fly around the world and eat lots of food and save the world.” – Cedric age 7

“I would celebrate daddy, ‘cus it’s his birthday and I would celebrate daddy’s work!” – Coralee age 6

Children are often the windows of innocence. They cherish each moment of life no matter how simple or complex. It is all the same to them. What happens now is what is important. Eat cake, have a party, play in the pool.  Remember those who sacrificed by celebrating their lives and yours.  Go ahead ask your children this one questions. I bet you’ll love their answers. I know I did!
