After a trip to Maryland & D.C. visiting my sister and her family, I had a million pictures to scrapbook. I decided to keep the majority of them in the original 4" X 6" format to limit cropping and speed my scrapping. These layouts are from a very memorial and moving visit to the War Memorials.
.JPG)
The first photo is of the WW II Memorial. My friend Julie used the computer there to look up her Grandfather's name (he served in that war). A useful photo tip I love to use is to use a photo as a brochure holder. Just back the photo with cardstock and adhere the sides and bottom. Now you can still access the brochure without taking up valuable photo space. .JPG)
The Field of Stars...The Freedom Wall has a reflecting pool just below. The 4,000 Gold Stars honors more than 400,000 lives lost during the World War II. So moving when you see all those stars. .JPG)
The Korean War Memorial was by far the most touching for me because you could actually see the faces of the soldiers. I can not explain the emotions that you feel when you walk around this memorial. I would highly recommend it. Since working on my family tree and knowing my family has been in these wars, I am even more proud of every soldier and every family that has someone serving our country. .JPG)
The Vietnam Wall Memorial was so incredibly long and just filled with name after name. To add some interest to the photo we all posed for the picture and I took the photo of our reflection in the wall like we were giving all the soldiers a big hug. .JPG)
Four American eagles hold a suspended laurel wreath in the Baldaccino Sculpture.
I was so moved by all that I saw that I wanted to do something for our soldiers so I started making cards, they use these cards to keep in touch with their family and friends. The project is called Operation Write Home. You can learn more about it by watching this great video by Operation Write Home. http://operationwritehome.org/
I hope you've enjoyed my project. Now it is time to hop on to the next blog on your list...

ReplyDeleteAwsome to show this support to our military.
ReplyDeletelavenderangel@centurytel.net
What wonderful layouts. Thank you for showing support for the military!!
ReplyDeletesjpenkacik@gmail.com
Thank You so much for showing our military men and women such support. They SO deserve it for all they do for us.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful. I would like to share a project I stich for here http://omascrafts.com/photo_2.html
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your awesome pages! And for doing the blog hop! This is my first, but looking forward to checking them all out and learning something new!
Thanks again,
LaDonna
As usual, I love your blog, and you have given me some great ideas what to do with the pictures I took last weekend. Our youngest son is being shipped out to Afghanistan at the end of the month. He got to come home for 10 days, and the Patriotic Riders gave him a wonderful send off. The ceremony was held just for him, and there were so many tears from the 14 family members in attendance as well as several friends. They held a lovely luncheon for him afterward. I look forward to working on these layouts, but I know many more tears are sure to come while I am doing them. Thanks for sharing your inspiring layouts!
ReplyDeleteSuzy
I have been a fan of your blog for some time and am now a follower! This is my first blog hop! I am super excited to check out all the blogs! Thank you for the glorious pictures of the war memorials in DC. I took my youngest daughter to DC two years ago (she was 16 at the time), it was an incredible experience to share with her!
ReplyDeletePeople ask do you remember where you were when 911 happened? I was watching the tv coverage and as were others in a hospital waiting room. I had to go into the MRI for 1 hr and when I was done I refused to get off the stretcher. I told them I NEEDED to know right now if I was ok. Oddly enough the radiologist came to the room and read my MRI right infront of me and showed me the actual results. 2 yrs after my 10 hr surgery and 10 yrs after my battle begun, my brain tumour was completely gone with no regrowth. I was elated yet when I left the MRI suite I was bombarded with the news and imagines of the twin towers. I called family in the States to make sure they were ok. My neice who is older than me was trying to get across the border to Canada with her kids but everything was shut down. Oddly enough, i could not face anyone that morning. I went to a park along the Thames River and sat on a picnic bench under a canopy of trees for several hrs completely shocked. How could I feel so elated when the world was in chaos. It was like I was having a case of surviours guilt....it was such a stunningly beautiful late summer day.
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to all the families and friends of those who died on 9/11 and to all the soldiers, US and Canadian who've died and are still fighting for us.
Although I don't know the name of the nurse that was attempting rescue at ground zero and died from falling debries.I will not forget my fellow nurse's bravery.
Hi Christie, Thank you for sharing your work with all of us. I have never been a part of a blog hop before I am looking forward to it and learning from so many talented people . Thanks for the opportunity.Let us all remember 911 victims.
ReplyDeleteOn 9/11/2001 we looked at the security of our nation through different eyes. As United States of America citizens, we were once again united as One Nation under God. We owe our security to the many brave men and women who have not onlly risked their lives but laid down their lives for us! May we always continue to support our military men and women!
ReplyDeleteYou have made some very beautiful and moving layouts Christie. Even though I wasn't affected by 9/11 I remember sitting up all night with hubby watching it all unfold in tears. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful layouts!
ReplyDeleteGreat LOs! Okay, now this is my favorite blog! I participate in OWH challenges and love making cards for our heros! TFS
ReplyDeleteMy dear friend lost her only child on 9/11. She raised Craig as a single mother and had followed him from CA to the East Coast when he landed his dream job at the Trade Center. For Craig, for Lauri, for every person in this wonderful United States who was impacted by 9/11 - GOOOOOOOOO military!
ReplyDeleteYour layouts are very impressive! This is a great way to conitnue remembering 9/11.

ReplyDeleteChristie- Thank you for sharing all those photos. Lovely layouts.
ReplyDeleteI remember the first time I saw the Vietnam Memorial. It took my breath away, and then the tears came. The same thing happened to me at the American cemetery in The Netherlands. All those lives lost in WWII honored in such a beautiful way.

ReplyDeleteOn 9/11 I was a junior in highschool in my medical class so I could become a nurse. I will never forget the moment they turned the tvs on. My husband is in the Navy and has been for the last 9 years. I am so proud of him and all the other military for doing what they do to protect us.

ReplyDeleteYour layouts are wonderful. A trip to D.C. has been on my traveling wish list for a long time, but I haven't made it there, yet. Your photos make me want to visit that much more.
Please remember to keep all of our Public Safety Services personnel (EMS, Firefighters and Police) in your thoughts and prayers also. They truly gave SO much on 9/11 and the months that followed. And for everyone who has someone serving in our armed forces...THANK YOU!

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your LO with us. The Korean War Memorial was especially moving for me, when I saw in back in 2002 (on our honeymoon to D.C. and N.Y. in honor of 9/11). When we happened to move to VA in 2008 the AF Memorial was new to us. It's quite the sight with the Pentagon behind it.
ReplyDeleteYour stuff is always amazing. Thank you for sharing. The patriotic stuff is alway a rush for me. I am so thankful for our HEROS. gdobberteen@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteGreat LO's. have become a follower. TFS.
ReplyDeleteLove your LOs. My parents took my brothers and me out there about 9 years ago, and as a history major I love walking through all of the memorials. We were in NYC July before the attack and without knowing we were doing it, had the towers in the background of almost all of our pictures. It was eerie seeing it since we didn't develop the pictures until November.
