Thank you Veterans!!!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I just want to take a few minutes to thank all the Veterans, past and current who have risked everything for our country.

No matter what views you have on war, our service men and women are doing what their country asks of them and risking everything. A lot of them gave everything they had: their lives for our country.

so:

THANK YOU WITH ALL MY HEART!!! ♥♥♥

Please feel free to post pictures of your loved ones who are or were Veterans.

Here's my dad and his father!

One of these days I'm going to create a montage of the Sgts Peterson. I'm 1400 miles away from the scanner, and the pics of dad, my great uncle, and others in the family who served or are serving are another 300 miles from that.

I'd love to have a scanner. The pic of my Dad was scanned in by a friend a long time ago. The one of my grandfather is a digi pic of a pic. What a difference, eh?

I probably couldn't figure out a scanner though, but then, that's what I thought about my computer and digi camera.

I agree, also, that despite my veiws on the war, I'm still thankful for those that have risked/gave their lives for this country.
We have had alot of our family in wars, though none of my imediate family (though my mum had planned to join when she was younger, and my dad didn't have well enough eyesight to join). I know for sure that both of my grandfathers were in a war... and one took ammunition to the front line, and the other worked on the ships (something to do with translating morse code).

Thats my grandfather from my mum's side.
Neither of my grandfathers died while in the war, though they died before I was born, I'm still proud to say that my family had a part in the war. My father still has his dad's uniform, and if its in good enough shape, it will probably be donated to the new museam in town.
So, Thank you all Veterans!! ^__^

THANKYOU VETERANS!!

Our family is military as far back as I know. My dad served in WWII in the USAF and FIL served in USN. Hubby served in the USAF in Vietnam and Desert Storm 1. My brother served in Desert Storm. SIL is serving right now in the USAF.

Both hubby and I grew up in military families, and it is all we have ever known - always moving around the country and often separated from our servicemember family. Since I also married a servicemember, my kids grew up military. Now, daughter Missy is also married to military. They just had a separation while her hubby served in Iraq.

It is a good life and we are all very proud of our miltary men and women.

Below are pictures of hubby and of his father.

My dad was a Veteran, too. I'll have to get a pic scanned so I can put it here. I am so thankful to those both past and present that have insured our freedom. So many people abuse and take that for granted. They just don't realise that our freedom is a great treasure.
My Brian is also a Veteran and here's a pic he sent to me. He really loves his country and spends a lot of his personal time helping Veterans and even some that are in the service now. He likes to joke about me collecting antiques He was and still is a very handsome man.

So, thanks to all who have helped keep this our country great. You are so appreciated. Great thread!
