Veteran's Day
 

Veteran's Day is coming up. Our small town has built a lovely Veteran's Memorial, and offered folks the opportunity to "purchase" a brick in honor of, or in memory of a veteran. My sisters (4) and I bought one for Dad. The names were put on the bricks recently. Formal dedication of the memorial is on Veteran's Day. I hope to attend. Dad would be pleased.

Nice

Very nice, Lainey.

I'm sure that your Dad, and your Mom, too, would both be pleased.

I think that's an outstanding way to recognize your dad. Also, I applaud the town for erecting this memorial that recognizes all vets. :thumbup:

Thanks, all.

The memorial is very nicely done, well lit, some steel benches for each branch of the service for those who wish to sit a while. I'll take a few other photos at some point.

:iagree:

That's totally cool.

It was 12 years in the making. Built with the same type of stones as the town hall, the library and a local church. I had forgotten that the memorial has already had it's dedication but I believe there is a Veteran's Day ceremony as well as they were just adding the names on the bricks.

That is very, very nice, and a fitting tribute. Well done!

No mail on Monday, November 12, is the only attention most will pay to this. Other than government employees who will get a day off.

1100 Paris tune (GMT/UTC +1) on November 11 marks the time of the Armistice 100 years ago in 1918. That will be 0500 EST (GMT/UTC -5). Not exactly the time for a beer so I'll put a decent slug of navy rum in my coffee.
