Last year, when Marcie posted a challenge to do a heritage page, I did one of my dad and his service in WWII. After doing that one, I started one of Grumpy's father and his service in the Korean War. Until this challenge, I never got around to finishing it. Thanks Marcie for the challenge this month, as I was able to have a reason to finally get this layout done.
Unlike my father, who had almost no pictures from his service in WWII, Grumpy's father had quite a few pictures and quite a few documents of his service. The background in this layout is a scan of his certificate of Air Training Command for the USAF.
I used my Circut to cut out a tiny frame in red paper to put around DFIL in the group picture.
The picture on the bottom left of the page is one that took my breath away when I was looking through all the pictures DFIL had of his service. I just thought it was an awesome shot to see not only the men below the plane, but also standing on it's wings.
I added a pharse to my layout that I think speaks volumes that we as American's should always remember. "Freedom is not Free". Many brave men and women have given their lives to protect what we enjoy and I hope we never forget that.
