This first picture is in honor of my father. As the oldest child, it was very moving to receive this flag at his funeral. My father was a veteran of World War II and he served as a medic on the Navy ships.
My grandfather served in World War I.
My children's other grandfather was a veteran of the Korean conflict.
My daughter's father served in the Vietnam war.
My youngest brother served in the Army during peacetime.
And my former stepson served in the Navy during the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq.I thank you all for your service.
May all of you in blogland have a pleasant time with your families on this holiday, and if your loved ones are away serving this country, I pray they are brought home to you safely!

Thank you so much for the very special tribute.. That is awesome that you have had so many people in your family serve. My husband will be serving as a dentist in the Navy starting in June.. I am scared and excited all at the same time! Sounds like you had quite some experience living a navy life. I am sure I will love it.
ReplyDeleteThank you to all your family members who served their country. You must be proud of them. What a lovely tribute.
