The 4th of July is certainly a time to think about more than discount shopping. I read some interesting stories in the "Good Old Days" magazine about where people were on V-J Day, 14 Aug 1945. I recently spoke with my aunt and asked about her memories and her husband's experience in WWII. He was a Marine, wounded on Guam and sent home on a hospital ship. She said he never talked much about his experiences. Their son was also a Marine, who served in VietNam and was injured as well.
This is a quilt I made a few years ago to salute the military in my family - me, my husband, my brother, my nephew, my uncles, my cousins, and sister-in-law. My parents are included as Dept. of Defense employees. I also inscribed 13 (only some) of the Revolutionary War patriots from our family tree. It's been an exciting discovery to see how many family members contributed to the founding of the USA.
Happy 4th of July!
Happy 4th of July!
