Random Tribute

I was walking around on campus today when suddenly the National Anthem started to play. Looking around confused I noticed that everyone was standing still. People who were sitting down previously were now standing up and everyone's right hand covered their heart. I am still not completely sure why this happened or if it happens daily, but I am so thankful it did. 

My great grandfather, my grandfather, and my father all served in the U.S. military. I love America. It was such a blessing to stop in the middle of my crazy, hectic day and remember those who have sacrificed so much for our country. 

Being in the middle of BYU campus, surrounded by my peers, who were all paying respect to our national anthem, filled my heart with overwhelming joy and gratitude. I am so blessed to live in a free country which allows me to attend an amazing university where I can worship my God through gaining intelligence and experience. This is truly a Promised Land.

Thank you BYU and God Bless America!
