Thought I'd post another pic from our family get-together last week. It follows along the lines of today's theme. :)

These two brothers are US Navy Veterans from WWII. Ron, on the left, served aboard the battleship USS TENNESSEE and George, who happens to be the father of my bride, served aboard the submarine USS TINOSA.

Last Veterans Day, at the church we attend, a small gift was given to each veteran - a coin inscribed "A Grateful Nation Thanks You" on one side, and on the reverse, "In Appreciation fo your Courage and Sacrifice to Protect our Freedom." I was able to get a few extra coins and gave one to each of them last Saturday.

Heading for the checkout counter. Busy day planned - a visit to the dentist, daughter Deni's birthday celebration tonight, Logan-sitting, etc. Have a GREAT day, y'all.

Aresn't it a great day?

Thanks for the pictures of those great gentlemen and veterans! Bet they were thrilled to get that coin you gave them. You're such a thoughtful person. Save some birthday cake for us tonight. :)
