Veteran’s Day…

November 11, 2007 on 12:01 am | In Personal, Photography |

Veteran’s Day is a day the U.S. honors its Veterans of the U.S Armed Services. In 1954 it was renamed to Veteran’s Day, in order to honor victims of all wars. It was initially named Armistice Day, a day established to honor Veterans of WWI.

The World War II Memorial in Washington D.C. is a tribute to all the U.S. Armed Forces who served during WWII, and is a tribute to those who served on the home front and our Allied forces.

My Father was a WWII Veteran…this photo was taken Veteran’s Day 2005. You are always missed and loved my dearest daddy.

May your memory be for a loving Blessing. “Yitgadal viyitkadash shmeh rabba…”

May all those who died Rest in Peace. May all those who served and are still living, have peace in their lives. Thank you for serving our country.

My mommy died on Veteran’s Day, 2004. She was a veteran of the years of war with her ailing body…

Be Resting in Peace, Dearest Mommy. Three years later…I miss you so…

The rose bush I planted for you always has a bloom on it…even in winter…you blossom year round in my mind and heart, in the hearts of all our family members who so love you, and in the roots in the earth in front of my home. The symbol of your life comforts and illuminates my hours and days, its scent a strong reminder of your essence and presence.
