This picture really says it all. We should all stop and remember the sacrifice these men and women have made. Whether or not we agree with the wars that we are presently fighting, the men and women who are there fighting in the name of the USA should be honored. I am the age of the Viet Nam Vets who were so dishonored when they came home. Shame on us!
Very touching. We attended a memorial service at our church cemetery this morning and I was very moved. I posted pictures on my blog a little while ago, but men that my kids have grown up knowing were in uniform. Their uncle played taps, and they helped my dh put the flags on the graves. I think they were as moved as I was.
I am a wife and mother. I am the granddaughter of Bessie and daughter of Mary: two women who passed down to me their love of needlework. Now, I see their hands and continue to feel their unwavering love and guidance with each stitch that my hands make. I love hydrangeas, peonies, poppies and periwinkle blue. There is a soft place in my heart for things showing age. Perhaps because I pray to still be cherished when I grow old.
I am honored if the content of my blog has inspired you. Please respect my photos and text and do not use them without consent, or appropriate credit and links. Thank you!

Have a nice weekend, Jan!
Thank you for remember our fallen and active service members and above all the families left behind.
