This is the weekend that we remember those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country. I'd like to honor all those who have fought so digilently so that we may have freedom. And, I'd like to share some pictures with you of my sailor, who spent 22 years in service.

That is a very special memorial tribute to your late husband. God Bless his soul---and thanks to him (and all of the others) who did so much to provide us with the freedoms we enjoy...
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great Memorial Day Weekend. It's going to be a hot one here (temps. in the 90's)... Yipes!!!!!
Hugs,

What an amazing naval career - I know you were all so proud of him. (Love Marie's comment!).
ReplyDeleteI too join in thanking all who did, and still do, serve in the military to keep us free from oppression. We are a fortunate country but it's sad that this requires losing far too many men and women to keep us safe from harm.
Enjoy Memorial Day, your dear husband will be close in thought I know.
Hugs - Mary
How handsome he was....in every picture. Wish I could thank him. I do so appreciate all our servicemen and women and appreciate your remembrance. Have a wonderful weekend, friend.
