Thought I'd post this photo of my dad's Navy memorabilia, that I took for my mother for Christmas last year.  Today would have been his 80th. birthday had he not gone home to be with the Lord.  Happy Birthday, Dad!

A beautiful tribute to your Dad and makes a lovely keepsake for your mother.

Thanks for sharing, Kathleen.   :)

What a thoughtful gift, and the picture turned out great. Did you have it enlarged and framed?

Thank you for the nice words!  Yes, I framed it in a shadow box and also framed the flag from the funeral in one of those triangular boxes so they can hang together on her wall.  She LOVED it!  I also have the 13x19 that I entered in the fair and won 3rd. place.  It's actually sharper than it appears here online, I think I forgot to sharpen it for web use.  oh well.  For my dad's memories' sake, I wish it had been a 1st. place finish.  (okay, for myself, too.   ;))

It helps to remember God's good gifts.  Thanks be to God!
