Today was a beautiful day to reflect and remember 11/11/18.
The church we have been attending erects flags all across the property on patriotic holidays.
There is a display case in the church lobby filled with retired flags that will never fly again.
We also had a QOV presentation today to one of the members, a Japanese-American from Hawaii who rose to Brigadier General, serving in both Vietnam and Iraq.

It was my first time witnessing a QOV presentation.
The makers and quilter are members of the guild I recently joined.
Hi Libby, I rang my sleigh bells on our evening walk and it was actually nice to have the small sounds echoing in the trees. I thought about my grandfather who died in World War II and my Dad who was a Korean vet. We must respect all of that.
ReplyDeleteOther things...Loosey goosey is so colourful. And I loved your trees piece..what a beautiful border you are piecing.
Our church did a really nice service for Veterans Day, too. The QOV presentation is very moving, isn't it? I'm glad your guild is involved!! :)
