Both grandfathers were Vets. Happy TT!
Wonderful list. I'm a military spouse as well - and a base brat...and grandchild of those who served...and great grandchild - what can I say, military runs in our blood ;)
i say AMEN!!!!! what a great idea for this week's T13 list!!!
And bring them home, to their families and their own country, as soon as possible.
Great list. Our military certainly needs our support! My husband was in the Vietnam war and they didn't get the support they needed.
My TT is up.
Thanks for the ideas! God bless you and your family.
Great list! My human dad is an officer in the Canadian Forces, so we support the military in many ways. We don't have the same programs that the U.S. military does, but we support the Canadian military and veterans in other ways.
If it wasn't for the American military I would have never been born. They rescued both my parents from a Japanese POW camp in WWII and here I am. They have wonderful stories about soldiers who held them, fed them and just plain cared for them when they finally were able to come to their rescue. I will link to your TT. Thanks for the reminder.
hey, hire a vet first as long as they hire a duck second :)
lucky you btw
I salute you in the military, we owe you our gratitude.
We support you all,waiting for your safe return.
Old man... 1/6/ all the other Marines, Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard,I remember you daily.
God Bless you all,
Till you return safe and sound....Vet's forever......
Hi - I came over from Amy's Scavenger Hunt. Great list!
Great list! I know I can do some of those. Thank you to you and the Old Man for all you've done and given to us and thank you to all the Vets who have worked and sacrificed to keep us safe. God Bless!
