Today, I post in memory of all the men and women who served with their life's blood, but most especially, I post in memory of Major Gregory "Linus" Stone, USAF. He died after one of our own Air Force sergeants tossed a grenade in a tent. Linus had flown with my husband in the 34th Bomb Squadron (Thunderbirds) and later deployed with the Air National Guard for Iraqi Freedom.
May we always remember the price of our freedom, our liberty, our honor. May we be worthy of their sacrifice.

Your card is amazing, Susan, and perfect for the day.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the memory and meaning today. Your card is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI am grateful for all who served. My father enlisted the day after Pearl Harbor was attacked. It is because of the sacrifices of men and women who came before and after him that we are fortunate to have the freedom to worship, come and go as we please and express ourselves. Thanks for the outstanding card and remembrance of our vets.

ReplyDeleteMay we always remember that freedom isn't free.
ReplyDeleteI love the movement evoked by the image. It makes me think of the flag waving in the wind.
