I learned something new on your blog. I didn’t know that there was a medal predating the Purple heart. It’s nice that we remember to thank veterans and remember them on veterans day, but we should remember to do it every day and everytime we see a veteran. I guess I take that for granted because I am able to thank a veteran everyday for his service being the daughter of one. In our house November 10 and November 11 are big important “Holidays” we alway remember to thank our service man and woman past and present.
Carissa, I remember you are the daughter of a veteran :). That brings this day home in a very special way. And you’re so right – we need to honor them every day, not just this once a year holiday. I am going to call my stepdad in a minute and thank him as he served, too. And our neighbor is a WW2 vet who I spend a lot time with. So glad Nov 10 and 11 are celebrated days in your household. We have really started to make this day special here, too.
Glad you found out about the first purple heart here. That makes me smile. There’s a long and interesting history behind it and I wasn’t sure I could even find these pictures. Hope your dad and all your family have a blessed day today!
What a wonderful tribute to those who have served our country throughout the generations!
Carla, Wonderful to welcome another Veterans Day with you! I love these images. Since studying the Revolutionary War I have such an appreciation for our veterans and know you do, too. Bless you for your gracious spirit!
