Inside Edition reports on 4-year-old J.W. Claburn who welcomed National Guard troops to his neighborhood in Richmond, Texas;
Wes Claburn said he wasn’t surprised at his son’s gesture as he’s always taught him the importance of the military.
“He’s just a sweet and good-hearted kid. He knew it was the military and he knows what the flag represents,” Claburn told InsideEdition.com. “He went and grabbed the flag and started waving it for the National Guardsmen.”
Claburn said that his grandfather was killed in World War II in 1944 before his father was born.
“We’ve let him know how important his great grandfather was to our family. Everybody in my family appreciates the military,” Claburn said.

Hats off to the Claburns; both father and son for their patriotism and enthusiasm during hard times.

Easier and safer to unbolt the turret. Just sayin’.

You ain’t.
Go back to your armchair.

If they drove through the “lovebugs” with the wipers running it could have eat up a wiper blade.

Good kid, better parents.
I’d like to tell him that; “Dude!! You’ve got a heart that’s
