This card is so appropriate for today's post.
My daddy served in the Navy during WWll and this week Monday -Wednesday he was on the honor trip to Washington DC. We went to the airport last night to see him and all the others come in. What a wonderful event they put on for these veterans.
While we waited I captured this photo of my mom looking at my dads Navy photo. This is what he looked like when they met. I'm sure there were a lot of memories flooding her mind
My sister, Vicky, stayed with Mom while Dad was gone because her hubby (a Vietnam Veteran) was my Dad's escort for the trip. The 3 sweet girls are Vicky's grand daughters. They made posters and were excited to see both of their grandpas come home.

There were MANY who came that were in wheel chairs, but my Daddy walked strong. I enjoyed seeing him greet all the people who came to welcome them home.
What a treasure to witness the love my parents still share after 68+ years.
I guess this could technically be called a Sentimental Sunday Post but while it is fresh in my memory I wanted to post it today with the Father's Day Card
Thanks for stopping by!
