For Those still Serving and Protecting our Freedom!
Our Service Men and Women and our Loyal Service Animals Across the world!
Sir Speedy, there is a song, American Anthem, composed by Gene Scheer and sung in versions of varying length by Norah Jones. One version was used in Ken Burns' documentary The War. Various people have created montages of photographs, old and new, to accompany the song. All of this can be found online, but do try to hear all the lyrics. I like it a lot and hope you do, too.
Our local veterans in my hometown used to sell crepe paper poppies on this day and my dad would buy them for all of us to wear. Thanks for the memories of my dad, too.
Whoa! Speedy, what a lovely post..thank you for doing it...sadly, we forgot this was such a special day...we were so focused on getting posts done before Mom leaves, we just missed it...sad ears
