Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.

While I was antiquing one day, I ran across a beautiful white wooden glass shadow box. Inside were perfectly pinned Military uniform patches, buttons and medals. I wondered who the mother was that lovingly placed those items there. Each one was aligned, shined and clearly displayed with care. I am really into authentic military pins to wear on my jackets right now. What caught my eye was the Grenade pin. How unique...
Now as I look at them, I think how sad...
Sometime they'll give a war and nobody will come.

This week we voted
and this week we also honor our Veterans.
A double-edged blade is a war. Peace and love
go out to all who have seen war and also those who still suffer due to war.
In remembrance...
May our Vets have peace.

I agree with you on all counts here, my friend! And I join you on my blog honoring those who have served!
Have a Beautiful weekend!!
Beautiful post - I love your quotes, and I had no idea it was Carl Sandberg who wrote those marvelous words. Keep the peace. xoxoxoxo
Oh sweetie, I wonder what the story is behind those glorious medals! I'm sooooooooo envious of your find and would also wear them with absolute pride. You look amazing in the shirt and scarf and I love your photo treatments - you're so good at this photography lark! xoxoxoxo
What a wonderful tribute to Veterans without glorifying war, Reva. I got a little teary as you described the mother proudly displaying the shadow box. We have so much to be grateful for, and thank you for the touching reminder that one of those things is for our troops and those who served, and have served our country.
