Thank you Daddy... and all Veterans who have served this great country. Also, thank you to all who are currently serving us and our country! Our deepest heartfelt appreciation goes out to you.
I recently made this little box (below) with the vintage children, for a birthday gift. I felt I should blur their little faces because I can't remember where I got this image. If these are family members of yours and you would like me to remove these pics, just let me know and I will gladly do so. I don't ever plan on using this image to make items for sale.
I added the red and blue......The hat.......Hairbow.......and flag. : )
Happy Memorial Day!!!Mary Lou

What a handsome Dad! So wonderful to see the pictures and cartoons, dear friend. It's so easy to forget the past and the sacrifices that were made for us by others. Thank you for the lovely reminder.:) Lori
Hey, Mary Lou! Happy Memorial Day! I love your box. In several of your Dad's pictures (especially the top one) he sure does resemble Dana Andrews. I don't know if you're a fan of old movies & may or may not know who Dana Andrews is but anyway... :)
HI!!!!
Great pics of your Daddy!!!!
I did have a pic of my Dad in his uniform but gave it back to my Mom, long story.
But I sure am appreciative to all the family members I have who have served at one time or another.
I think currently I have 1 cousin, stationed here in Az and a niece's husband who is serving in Afganistan, so we will be Praying for Michael's safe return home.
God Bless our service men and women
Have a great day
hugs,
jamie

It is such a great day for me to give thought to all the members of my family who have served or are currently serve in all areas of the armed forces.
Happy Memorial Day. I should share a picture of my veteran on my blog! The little boy and girl are super cute. I bet people would love them personalized with pics of their own children.
Your dad was dreamy!!!!
I appreciated the cartoon that explained Thanksgiving and Memorial Day. PERFECT!
The box is adorable!
Mary Lou,
Thank you for sharing these photos...your Dad was a handsome young man!!!! They were all so young!!!! Just kids really, just like today! I saw in the paper this morning where this Afghan war has now gone on longer than Vietnam....I sure hope we cal bring them all home soon!!!!
Your dad was definitely handsome. Both my mom and dad were in the military in WWII. I think they truly were the finest generation. Love your little box. So sweet, holding hands like that. Hope your memorial day was lovely. Mimi
All for the love of daddy and the man who stands the tallest in the wheelchair.
Awesome post my friend. Come along with me, the best is yet to be...were going on a Cupcake Walk in the merry month of June.
what a lovely tribute to your dad and all the men and women who have fought so hard to protect our freedoms, we owe them all a debt of gratitude!
Love the old pics of your dad! Cute little red, white, and blue box.
Hi Mary Lou, how handsome your Dad looks. We actually have my father-in-laws uniform from the service. Pretty neat to look at. Not a whole lot of pics, like you have. I love these boxes you create. Do you ever put them in your Etsy Shop? You, definitely have a talent. Memorial Day means so much more to me now . . part of growing older, I guess. In war nobody wins. We had a nice Memorial Day, a quiet one. Thanks for sharing the pics, Sandy:O)
What great pictures to celebrate Memorial day. I too am thankful for those who have served our country and continue to serve our country. How touching to see the man in the wheelchair stand as the flag goes by. I sure do love this country.
Thanks for this post, it touched my heart. And I know this is late, but Happy Birthday a few days ago!!! I hope you had a good one. Love you aunt Mary Lou. xoxoxo, Cami
