MEMORIAL DAY

Today we honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our Country as well as those who served and are serving.

A tribute to my first husband who served in the Air Force, National Guard and then Regular Army where he attended Signal Corps School in New Jersey.

Edward C. Patterson, my wonderful step-father but more like a father, was in the Navy Seabees doing tours of duty in active zones like Viet Nam, Korea, and was stationed at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base for a while.    

If you look closely at the photo below you will notice a Presidential Seal and Patch as Pat also served at Camp David during the years of President Eisenhower, President Kennedy and Pres. Lyndon Johnson.  Oh but I enjoyed the stories Pat would tell me when I stayed the weekend with them.

A Shield I recently hooked, an adaptation of a triptych design.

Hope the angle of the photo of my door wreath doesn't make you dizzy, but I'm too lazy to take another.

And a Patriotic Bear and Hat I made which is always on duty in my office.

Hope you have a safe and fun Memorial Day today.
