Even though this is the kind of thing you do purely out of respect, you never really know quite what impact, if any, it might have on a 7 yr old. Nonetheless, I felt it important for us to participate for a number of reasons.
Katie even got in on the act and was a great little helper.
As I expected, Noah took it pretty seriously but we had fun also. He was great about handling the flag with respect and generally understanding the importance of what we were doing.
I was awfully proud, to say the least.
