And GentleWomen too I guess.....I have long since been proud of all the things that my husband has accomplished and does accomplish now, whether it be putting up a pot rack in our kitchen, or making shelves for a bookcase...but nothing makes me prouder to have him than the fact that he is in the military. I know there are "haters" out there not thinking the military serves a purpose other than to blow up countries that we had no business being in in the first place...but hey this post isn't for them now is it?? Anyway, I felt kinda sad that there weren't any basewide festivities so to say going on for Memorial Day yesterday (there were of course in Arlington/DC) but well little ol' peons such as ourselves can't get anywhere near there when the big Mr. Obama comes out...so we took our $.99 flags from Michaels and found the base cemetery and planted some flags on the graves of these brave men and women that sometimes seems like time has forgotten, but we haven't and I plan on making this a family tradition every year, yes even if in Korea....think Korean War Memorial...aha!! Anyway, I hope the kids got something out of it but I know I sure did knowing that somewhere above there are some spirits hopefully smiling that one little family down here on earth has not forgotten them or their ultimate sacrifice so that I can live in this land of freedoms!! ;) Thanks alot Guys and Gals!!

Love the pictures of the kiddos at the cemetery!!! As far as patterns go, I didn't use any. The dress I just made up and I found some instructions on the bag, but no pattern, I ended up just winging the bag also. Let me try and find the website for the bag instructions...I can't remember because they weren't very helpful.
That is a good tradition. There were kids decorating all the graves around here and it looked so neat. I am proud of my sweet grandchildren...and their parents.
Good idea Ruth. It is nice that you made it a family day to pay tribute. Great pics too.
