Opening of The Museum Of Patriotism, being recognized as Country Music Ambassadors.

Hi everyone! This past week we had the honor and privilege to take part in the opening of The National Museum Of Patriotism.
It is a museum based around the history of America and everything that has made our country great. It captures the very essence of the spirit of America and our freedom.

Our morning started out with a series of T.V. interviews. We were to unveil a Bob Hope exhibit and then sing “Thanks For The Memory.” Also on hand for the event were Lee Greenwood and Patti Labelle. It was so nice to meet them and hang out.

After the morning activities, we had some time to take a tour of the museum. All I can say is that I was extremely touched by all of the exhibits. Some of the exhibits include: The Hall Of Patriots (recognizing both uniformed and civilian patriots), America’s Foundation (structure of our country), Defense of Freedom (military branches), One America (tribute to Sept.11th) but to name a few. My heart was full of pride with tears in my eyes. It’s so amazing how far our country has come and what America has done for so many, and all of the selfless acts. It also puts into perspective of how much things have changed over the years. Many emotions ran through me as we walked through each of the exhibits. I strongly encourage anyone to take a trip with his or her children or whoever else to see this museum, it was truly a fine display of our wonderful country.

Later that afternoon we got to take part in the official opening ceremonies of the museum, sing “The Star Spangled Banner,” and “Thanks For The Memory” live on Fox 5 Atlanta with Karen Graham. We also got to hang out some more with Lee Greenwood and Patti Labelle and take photos for media. The museum gave us really nice Certificates and we were recognized as Country Music Ambassadors for The National Museum Of Patriotism. What an honor and privilege!

We were also included in one of the exhibits where they filmed us and many others answering the question: “What is your definition of Patriotism?” Think about it and feel free to comment.

We’d love to hear what your definition is.
