[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Woe is me

Sat Feb 17 22:20:32 UTC 2024

Hi Ericka, both my Dad and Maternal Grandfather were in the Army, one of my Uncles was in the Air Force, and another Uncle was in the Navy.
I am making the Army Black Knights (United States Military Academy) in honor of Dad and Grandpa, and the Navy and Air Force scarves and hats for my Uncles.
I am of course Pro Army, but support all of the Branches of the Military.

Keep on fighting! That is really neat. Will this be donated? Or do you have family that are in the military?
