SHOW AND TELL

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.
