Today is Memorial Day. A day set aside to honor those who gave their lives in service to our country. It used to be called Decoration Day and I remember going to the cemetery for a memorial service each year. My father wore his Army uniform from WWII and was proud to be part of the memorial service. I also remember the 21 gun salute and how loud the gunshots were.
Now, as I age, I do not go to the cemetery on Memorial Day, but I pray a prayer of thanks for all the brave ones who gave their lives for our country.
The Flanders Field American Cemetery and Memorial is located in Belgium and has graves of Americans who died in WWI.
This week I sewed more Log Cabin blocks and also embroidered another redwork snowman block for my Christmas quilt. It was a very productive week. How about you? Please join our Design Wall Monday Linky Party below and let us know what you are doing this week.
