It is November, the month in which Americans celebrate Thanksgiving. But on November 12, we also honor veterans on Veteran's Day--thanking them for their service to our country.
Today I am thankful for my Grandfather who served in WW1, for Dad who was captured by Nazi's in WW2, for Uncle Joe who served in Vietnam, for Uncle Kelly who served in Korea, for my brother in law Guy who served in Desert Storm, and for my nephew David who serves our country today. But I am thankful--not just for these who are precious to me, but to the thousands of men and women across the world--from many countries--who sacrifice daily to keep the world safe.
THANK YOU.

Nice turkey, but it's on the cutting edge of technology...And, CUT! :)
ReplyDeleteLove that this card covered both Thanksgiving and Veteran's Day!
ReplyDeleteBet the turkey's not looking forward to thanksgiving. Nice card and sentiment of your and other families service.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! The turkey is balanced very precariously - on a knife?
ReplyDeleteWe have our Remembrance Sunday - on Sunday.:) But yesterday we observed the 2 minutes silence on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.
Happy Friday,Beth!
ReplyDeleteI thank all of the honorable men in your family that served our country and for those that still are. My heart goes out to your father, for his capture must have been beyond terrible.
This image is powerful ... perfect for honoring the men and women who protect us.

Nice turkey! He appears to be looking forward to Thanksgiving as much as I am!
ReplyDeleteVery nice tribute to Veterans on Veteran's Day!
Sheila has it right in the U.S. - Veteran's Day is observed at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. Those veterans who have passed on are remembered on Memorial Day, but it never hurts to remember them all on Veteran's Day as well.
ReplyDeleteRespect for all military, who risked for the benefit of all!

ReplyDeleteThanks to you also, Beth, for being our host at PFF every friday.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Beth! I LOVE the title of your blog--and I'm so glad I found you this morning...as I read your bio on the sidebar, I saw so many of the things listed that I love as well...I love vintage everything!
ReplyDeleteI've got a growing collection of postcards, and I've always loved the beautiful illustrations in fairytale and nursery rhyme books, and have collected those as well.
What a lovely tribute to the brave men in your life that have served...how greatful we are to all such men and women...thank-you for sharing this!
