Brad & I say a Special Thanks to our own Fathers for serving during the Korean War. We are greatful for your service and your safety.
Dad, I am eternally thankful that
you returned home unharmed... married Mom... became my Dad!!
Dad, Korea, 1952

And to my Father-In-Love, thank you for serving on the home front.

Korea, they may call it a "Police Action" or "Conflict"... but I know it was WAR to you and your comrades there in Korea. Thanks for serving.

Hi Diane... yes... I agree!! Thank you for posting this!

Wow... those pics of your dads are so cool I have never seen those! You Dad was so skinny! Hubby said "yeah, we guys change like that when we get older. LOL Well, we all do... it is because of the "fall" that everything well... falls. ;-)
BTW, I posted a couple of pics from my experiment with John's sigma lens. They are cool "artsy" shots, but I can see where there was a very narrow focus "spot". Do you think that is because of what I was shooting or it was the lens?
Love, bee

Beautifully said my friend. We had the most incredible time in church recognizing those who are commited to this fight. It just brought me to tears. It's because of men like your dads that we are free. Thank them for all of us as well!

Is that a new profile pic? It's really beautiful. You look amazing for a woman about to have a birthday :o)

Amen! What a neat tribute to your dad and your father in love. I love seeing the older military photos, I used to look at my grandfather's all the time. Thank them for us too:)
