Today I am posting on somethings that my husband received of his father's after his mother passed away in June 2008.These are wonderful keepsakes to keep the memory of his father alive in his heart.We are so proud to have these items in our home for the children and grandchildren to see.It helps them know who their grandfather was.
This is a picture of my father in law,it sits on the table in our front room.
Here is a Bible that was presented to my mother in law from the local VFW after the passing of my father in law.He was a war veteran.
It is a beautiful bible,this page is the presentation page.
It was given in this wonderful wooden and leather box.
This is my father in laws year book from the army,I never knew the made year books.It is just like a school year book.
Some of the pictures in the year book show them in training.
He was in the 5th Armored Division.
The year this book was created was in 1953.

Thank you so much for letting me view your wonderful keepsakes.
What treasures you have to remember your father-in-law by. I have never seen anything like the Army year book. It's really interesteing. I would love to find something like that with my dad in it.

What precious treasures to remember your father-in-law by. The bible is beautiful and who knew the army made year books!
Thanks for dropping by my blog,
Have a great week
What a wonderful treasure!! I love the box the bible came in - This will be a great treasure to keep passing on through the generations.
Wow...these are truly treasures to have in one's hand. Great show n tell.
My show n tell is finally posted. It's not much this week, but it's something. LOL
Wonderful keepsakes. So glad you have them to pass down.
Great family pieces. The yearbook is very original. Thanks for sharing a bit of your history with us!
That is a wonderful keepsake. I am sure future generations will be grateful to have the mementos of a granfather's life.
What wonderful treasures you have! I know your family will cherish them.

These are very nice to have. Gee, my father-in-law was in WWII and I don't remember seeing a 'yearbook'. I know he use to cross out classmates who passed on in his high school yearbook-not a nice thing-but he stopped doing it as he is 85 now.
Thanks for stopping by my blog too!
What a nice collection of memories of a special man. Thanks for sharing. Happy Show and Tell Day.
Those are nice keepsakes to have. My husband has a yearbook of when he was in bootcamp.
Gee I didn't know they made yearbooks in the Army either. Great idea though. These are real treasures that you have that will be appreciated for generations to come. Thanks for sharing them with us.

What wonderful heirlooms to have and to pass down to your children to keep their Grandfather's memory with them in their hearts always. The yearbook is fascinating...must be great fun to look through. :-)
Special treasures you have. I had two sons in the Army and they both have "year" books. I hope when their children grow up they will be cherished like your FIL's is.
Very special momentos you have! We have some of my FIL's old Army stuff like this and it is such fun to look back at. They make great heirlooms, too!
Blessings

You have wonderful treasures to share with your children! My husband's father was in WWII also and one day my husband found out his father threw all of his memorabilia away! My husband, who is also in the military, was quite upset and managed to salvage only a few things! So glad you have these things to share with all of us! Thanks!
I am teaching a class tomorrow in hospice and one of the sessions is remembering. You have given me some new ideas. Thanks for sharing!
These are so special. I know that your husband is so glad to have them and his wonderful memories:)

Oh how wonderful that you have some of his things! He looks like my daddy sitting in that chair with his baseball cap...just like a southern man:-) Thank you for sharing your sweet things!
How wonderful! Wonderful treasures! My siblings have the family Bible and all the goodies. I have none of my Dad's, I may ask him to leave me his metals. lol I sure the first born will get them. I looked at them, Thanksgiving, He was in the Navy, I never seen so many awards! I told him he needed to hang them all up, they are in shadow boxes. Christmas there they were all hanging on the wall.
