My Nana did...

Isn't that a sweet picture? I may have posted it a long time ago just after she died...
My grandparents were dating when he went away to fight in WWII. He sent her a picture of himself in his uniform with a love note on the back, and this is the picture she sent back to him.
(Are her shoes cute, or what?)
Both of my grandfathers were veterans of WWII, and my dad is a veteran of the Vietnam War.
Thank a Veteran today for their service (and for the day off! Woot Woot!)
And apropos of nothing, today is the 15th anniversary of the first date for Doug and I.
Think he'll remember that prior to reading this?

Angie would rock some saddle shoes.

What a lovely family photo and just awesome that you have a copy of it! (my grandmother was part of the USO, but I have NO photos to show for it...)
Happy Veteran's Day and Happy WW!
What a GREAT picture - and a wonderful memory!
Your nana's shoes are dead cute.
That is the most adorable photo!! They must have been such a cute dating couple! :)
I love the photograph of Nana.
Enjoy your day off. Funny how my husband is a soldier and has to work, but the civilians in their department have off.
It's nice to look at old photographs of family.
That is great 15 years together!
Your Grandma was HOT STUFF!
That is such a cool picture to have!
Wow what a cool picture - and seriously those shoes are gorgeous!
I have a lot of family that is or has been in the military, too - and a friend who's been in Iraq since like 2001 I think maybe shortly thereafter.
That is the cutest picture! My hubby has it easy with remembering our first date anniversary - it's our wedding anniversary too (we got married one year after our first date).
Awww, I'm all teary now. I love that picture too, and what a nice way to share it. And Nana was rockin' those shoes!
That is so sweet you remember the anniversary of your first date. I hope he remembers before reading this too :)
I love the photo of your Nana.

Happy anniversary! What a great photo. Your grandma looks gorgeous! I hope you enjoy your day off.
That is the sweetest picture. People knew how to love back then.

Her shoes are adorable. Wonder if they still make shoes like that?
And a big thank you to all our vets!

I don't even remember the anniversary of my first date with my husband! Isn't that awful?
Great photo.
Loved that picture!!!! From the shoes on up!
Awwww! I LOVE that picture! I see the cuteness factor has been passed on down... :)
1 grandpa, 2 siblings, 1 BIL although they got divorced.. and a niece is soon to enter the ranks...
I ♥ a veteran too, and am grateful.
I kept telling everyone I didn't dress up for halloween what were they looking at.. ? I was the same haggard housewife I always am!
How busy are you the next few weeks? I have a few things in the hopper and need some bloggy friends to help out.. :)
That was such a nice photo! Thanks for sharing.
Aunt use to always say great minds think alike. I did the same thing on my blog. I love old pics. I am a new follower. Won't you come to my blog & follow me too?
Great pic and great sentiment. My grandpas and Dad were vets of the same wars as yours.
Big thanks to your Grandfathers and your Dad for bravely serving.
And yes, those Spectators ROCK! :)
Hugs!
This is one of my fav Veteran's Day posts! I adore your Nana's shoes and dress - she is a very pretty gal :)
My grandma and my husband's grandma both fell in love with veterans too!
very sweet pic!
I love that picture!
Both my grandfathers were in WWII and so was my great-grandfather. They were fighting for a different type of world back then. In many ways, a much better world. I appreciate their service.
