"Wars might be fought with weapons, but they are won by men. It is the spirit of the men who leads that gains the victory." - George S. Patton

Thankful for Those That Served Veterans Day Blog Hop!

I am proud to honor those that have served and those that still serve this great country of ours in Leslierahyes "Thankful for Those That Served Veterans Day Blog Hop!"

 

Before I created my project I looked up the history of the holiday.  Veterans Day has been celebrated since the end of WWI.  It began as Armistice Day and has evolved over the years to our present day Veterans Day.

Veterans Day is not to be confused with Memorial Day.... Veterans Day pays tribute to all American veterans--living or dead--but especially gives thanks to living veterans who served their country honorably during war or peacetime.

THANK YOU for YOUR SERVICE!

THANK YOU VETS!

I cannot begin to express in words how thankful I am for those that have or are serving in the armed forces of this great country of ours! So many have served. Every one is a HERO in my eyes.     

In Remembrance on VETERANS DAY!

My card today is of the Iwo Jima Memorial, also known as the U. S. Marine Corps War Memorial, it honors the Marines who have died defending the United States since 1775. This image of the Iwo Jima Memorial is a rubber stamp from Viva Las Vegastamps!

One of my hobbies is collecting vintage photos and photo albums.  I found a few pictures in my collection I would like to share:  

1943 Kenneth visiting home Tulsa, Oklahoma

Bobby USS New Mexico 1922

USS Etlah AN79 Mine Sweeper 1945

Navy air transport (no info on the back)

THANK YOU all who have served and continue to serve in Army, Air Force, Navy and Marines. Take care to those serving today.  You are in my thoughts and prayers each day!  

Thank You to All Who Have Served!!

THANKS to ALL THE HEROS of the PAST...
