Both my husband ,second world war, and his father, 1st world war served in the army air force and Army.
To all my 2 brothers ,nephews ,uncles and cousins and friends who served in the Army ,Navy ,Airforce .Thank you for keeping our country safe. Everyone one was so patriotic in the 1st and.second world war.we bought war bonds ,women rolled bandages and worked in factories building planes like Rosie the riveter. The USO put on shows to keep up the moral of the boys. Bing Crosby and Bob Hope for example. I was just a teen ager but remember it well. |

A lovely tribute Vernice. I'm grateful to the men & women who have served, and sacrificed for this country.
What a cleaver idea! Reflector coasters. :) I really enjoy seeing your tablescapes!
Thank you to all the men and women who have served. This is a lovely tribute to them. Love your table! And those reflector coaster.. They'd be great at night too. Have a blessed Memorial Day. xo marlis
Hi Vernice- you are too cute using a reflector for a cup holder! Your table looks great and what a lovely tribute you made. My father and grandfather were in World War I and II. It was a country filled with lots of patriotism and a lot of sacrifices were made. It's good to be reminded of that. As they say "Freedom isn't Free". Have a nice Memorial weekend,

Love your thoughts on Memorial Day! Your family has had so many to serve as has mine! We are fortunate to live in a free country and remember their sacrific. Your flag decorations on the table are lovely. I hope you enjoy the weekend parade and laying of the wreath. Take care of you and your dogs!

Vernice, you speak straight from the heart and I was touched by your words. As usual, you came up with some clever ideas for your table, like using the reflectors as coasters.
As usual, great table ideas and a fine tribute!
You have been there, you know what you are talking about. May God bless you!
What a glorious show of patriotism, Vernice! You did a wonderful job on this table, and it's a brilliant example of what people can create by going to thrift stores and looking around. You always find such great stuff to use for your tablescapes!!!
I always love to hear the stories behind the tables. I remember that your husband served, but I don't think that I knew he was in the color guard. That's neat!
I hope that your Memorial Day weekend is a good one. Enjoy the parade and all the other festivities!
