(window display in Buchanan, Va)
What are your plans today? I have no idea what we are doing yet but it will probably involve water and grilling! Have a good Memorial Day and take a few minutes to remember the reason you are celebrating today :)
History of Memorial Day
That's a marvellous photo but I'm not too sure about the toy soldiers... Probably because I hate war!
ReplyDeleteLove that shot, Tanya... Thank you for remembering and honoring veterans today!
ReplyDeleteA fine window shot of this display. Nice one to commemorate this special day.
ReplyDeleteRemembering my kids playing with their green Army men and how many times I stepped on them laying around and cursed! As I look at your shot, the story I am telling myself is that a dad or mom somewhere helped a kid put their Army men on display with the flag to honor our fighting men and women. Of all the commemorations I have seen today on TV and online, THIS ONE brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great shot. I think the toy soldiers are what make the picture more impactful.
ReplyDeletePerfect reminder that Memorial Day is NOT about another mattress sale...
ReplyDeleteHope ya'll had a nice day!
Interesting display. Not possible to forget. I'm married to a retired sailor who was in every conflict from vietnam to dessert storm. He nightmares will keep me remembering if nothing else does.
