Remember


My dad served in the US Navy during WWII. I thought these photos that he made would be appropriate for Memorial Day.

"...For those in peril on the sea..."
Raising Old Glory..

Have a wonderful holiday, and remember all those men and women who have served in our military forces.
I am setting up your greetings for the next couple of mornings, and probably won't post again till Wednesday AM, when hopefully, all this internet problem will be fixed, thanks to the Geek Squad! I will try to look at your blogs in the meantime.

What a wonderful post! Love the red, white and blue birds. My father-in-law was in the navy, too..USS New Jersey.

Lovely tribute to your father and to all those who have served and are serving.

Those birds! As Mary said - red white(ish) and blue!

Hope you internet woes become a thing of the past - SOON.
