Veterans Day

Happy Veterans Day. I'm so grateful to my dad, my favorite veteran, for his service in the Navy. Today is the day to honor all of those who have served our country. Go out and thank a veteran!!!

Honoring Veterans

Thinking of all the Veterans today, especially my father and brother-in-law who both served in the Navy. And grateful that my nephew is currently serving in the Navy!

My Dad!

Shelly's school has an annual Veterans Day performance where they honor the veterans in the area. Here's a little of their performance:

Veterans Day

On Wednesday, Shelly's school had their annual Veterans Day celebration. Each grade performs a song tribute to the veterans and there are many military members present for the performance and it's always a touching ceremony.



Shelly's 3rd grade sang a sweet Thank You song. She was hidden in the crowd, but I managed to snap a few shots of her in her red, white, and blue. 







In honor of the veterans in our lives---my dad, my brother-in-law, and my uncle---a huge thanks for all that you have done to keep us all safe and protected in the USA. And, here's to our future military man who will be graduating in just a couple of weeks from Navy boot camp, our nephew, Kyle!

Shelly's school has a Veterans Day performance each year. This year she got to carry the Air Force flag across the stage with some of her classmates.






Here's the Navy flag for my dad and my brother-in-law.







Ready to sing!

And here are a couple of photos of my pop---the Navy man!!!
