Lovely collage and pictures and article about Lapdaddy's Uncle Bill. It is so important that we honor not only those who have served but also those who are now serving in this dispicable thing called war, and in the honorable process of protecting our country and ourselves.

ReplyDeleteWe're glad your great Uncle Bill made it home. It's sad so many didn't. It's good to have a day to remember them.
ReplyDeleteWe remember
ReplyDeleteWhen ever I read or see documentaries of WW2 and Omaha Beach I get chills. It's hard to imagine from their elderly pictures of today but they were just boys when they went into fight for us over there. So young. Of course, they are in every war. Now when I hear of my son's friends going to Iraq & Afghanistan it brings it all the more closer to home. Bless them all for their courage.
ReplyDeleteDear Misses Peach,
ReplyDeleteWonderful homage!
Adorable tribute to your lapdaddy's uncle Bill.Brave man!

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful tribute to your daddy's Uncle Bill.
ReplyDeleteHappy Memorial Day.
Our "Remembrance Day" is November 11th, to commemorate when the guns fell silent at 11am, 11th November 1918. That's why there is a minute's silence.
ReplyDeleteWe have lots of poppies then to remember the poppies that grew in no-man's land between the trenches. Lots of people wear a poppy in their buttonhole. At memorial services that day, that war and all the conflicts that British servicemen and woman have died in since are remembered. In London, at the main service at the Royal Albert Hall, during the minute's silence, they let fall a single poppy petal for every serviceman or woman that died then or since in war. It's very moving and quickly becomes a sea of red....
Thanks for sharing this beautiful tribute. Our veterans gave something we can never repay them for, but we sure ought to be willing to say "thanks" to each and every one of them!
ReplyDeleteWe remember those that fell for our freedom!
ReplyDeleteWe remember ALL of our soldiers, here and gone, who have/are giving their ALL for us to have our freedom and for them, I am grateful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great tribute Misses Peach - we think it is important to always remember stories like these!
