Veteran's Day

I just read the most beautiful post by Tins & Treasurers Blog about Veteran's Day and how they celebrate it in schools.

Remembering all of those brave men & women who have been in Wars brings back so many memories of my Dad, who died in 2004. He was a Navy man through and through. And no matter what weather we were having here in Chgo, that flag was flown from sunup to sundown. .. and the pride my Dad had in when he placed that flag up and the respect he showed when he took it down, he even folded with such care...and now I think of all the men and women who are currently serving, I keep them all in my prayers. They give the ultimate sacrifice for all of us.
May God Bless them and keep them safe...Happy Veterans Day

Please check out Tins and Treasurers Blog, it is beautiful!

Hugs to all, and prayers to those still serving,

Mary
