[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Woe is me

Mon Feb 19 23:21:06 UTC 2024

My Dad was in the Korean War back in the early 50's.
I think that Grandpa Collins was in World War II. I don't think that Uncle Bob (Navy) or Uncle Lee )Air Force) served overseas as they were both in Peace times.
I am also going to loom knit a Camouflage scarf to represent those who are currently or were in battlefield situations. Plus, I will be making matching hats.
Hey, I might even make Sophie and her Cousins doggie sweaters in the appropriate colors of the Military branches.

My grandpa served WW2 and so did the husband of one of my dad‘s cousins. I don’t know exactly all the details but my grandpa was army Air Force my grandpa‘s baby brother served in the Navy as a cook. I support the military also as I have a cousin who is serving currently and so is his wife I don’t think they’ve been deployed recently. I also have a college friend who after desert Storm Came to college and that’s where I met her. She drove truck there. Anyhow, that’s really cool what you’re doing.
