I think you got your smile from him and I think you got his look. You're so pretty.<br /><br />In Canada we celebrated Remembrance Day while you celebrated Veterans'Day. People gathered at the cenotaphs in record numbers this year across the country. It's a good sign.<br /><br />We have so much to thank them for.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />JBJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948073544976029742.post-57308444561292330512014-11-11T23:29:18.448-05:002014-11-11T23:29:18.448-05:00I agree with the commenters who said your dad was ...I agree with the commenters who said your dad was a handsome man! I am so thankful for those that have served and are serving! How neat too with the youth thanking that man for his service.

They deserve much better than they receive and I'm very touched by the story of the young man thanking the veteran. When my husband wears his Airborne cap, he gets comments too. It always makes him proud!Nonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13020639587130083388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948073544976029742.post-44200657210206225732014-11-11T19:56:10.115-05:002014-11-11T19:56:10.115-05:00You are so right, dear YaYa!

Your story about the teenager walking over and thanking the Vietnam vet is surprising and heartwarming. It's something we should all remember to do. Don't hold back. Thank a soldier or veteran and do it today. You'll both feel great afterward.<br /><br />My goodness, your father looked like Robert Goulet! Clearly you emerged from the deep end of the gene pool, YaYa. That explains your beauty. You are also beautiful on the inside where it counts. Thank you for this important and thought provoking post, dear friend, and enjoy the rest of your week!Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839935472941264414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948073544976029742.post-7529151261467925352014-11-11T19:11:37.750-05:002014-11-11T19:11:37.750-05:00much better than the welcome the soldiers coming f...much better than the welcome the soldiers coming from Vietnam got for sure.<br />I hope over time we make it up to them.<br />Cathyacorn hollowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503414190541111706noreply@blogger.com
