Thanks for posting this! Veterans Day is always special to me. My father is a Vietnam Vet and it is my mom’s birthday. They will be getting in to town today to visit with the grandkids until Thanksgiving. I always love to do something special for both of them.
How wonderful you’ll be able to spend that tiem with them! My step-dad was pretty excited when he heard he could go to Applebee’s for free lol :) Happy Birthday to your momma!
That is so funny! I asked my dad on the phone before they got here what we should do for my mom’s birthday and he said…let’s take her to Applebee’s! hahaha
I really appreciate this events,the Veteran’s day.I mean I’m not being sentimental but if you think about the time and life they give to their country.So they are worth remembering and given some special time to be able to give them the feeling that they’re being loved and remembered by the people who lived on the country they once fight for.
By the way, my grandpa was a veteran, he would be very happy seeing this event.
