REMEMBERANCE DAY


As today is remembrance day i thought i'd show you all a picture of my grandad taken in 1939 when he was 19years old.... just a boy really.
Grandad came home... and is still around... he'll be 90 in December, has dementia but remembers the war as if it was yesterday.
I love him so much.



I believe today is also veteran's day across the pond.... so i thought i'd mark that too with a photo of my daft yank squirrel killer swearing allegiance to the flag when he went to serve in Vietnam
when he was 2oyrs old. Like my grandad, he came home, but so many didnt today we will remember them.
Grandad... Ron... i'm so proud of you both. love ya both always. xxx
My thanks to Lisa at allisa designs for the poppy.... you can find her though the s-cat blog..... nice one kiddo.... thanks again xxx
