Yay, I got to sleep in today because the kids were off from school. IT's Parents and Teacher's conference today although I did not sign up because my kids teachers says that I don't have to as they are doing great in their respective classes, which is a great news. We have a long weekend as Monday is also a day off for Veteran's Day. The kids are off but sad to say, the Veteran himself is not off as there is no off for them at the company where he works.
Anyway, sharing you some snaps I took yesterday when hubby and I went to New Cumberland, I saw this memorial spot dedicated to the men and women of New Cumberland who served the country in all wars.
It is very touching when you see this kind of dedication and appreciation. Not many appreciates the sacrifices that military men and women is doing for the people and country.
In Weirton, there is a big Memorial place also. I hardly see people visit the place but my family visits there on warm days. We even brought my father -in-law who is also a WW2 Veteran. Below are some photos.
You can see more photos here Wishing you all a happy weekend. My family salutes to all the Veterans and to men and women who are currently serving the military.

Back in secondary school we spend the weekend over in France and Belgium it was such an amazing and emotional time and place to be - I will certainly never forget it x
Happy Memorial Day mare! Glad it's a long weekend for y'all. :)
Happy Veteran's Day, hope you enjoy the long weekend.
I am so bummed, my husband is a veteran too and we always spend the day together as a family. He is out of town on business so we will not be together this year. enjoy your weekend.
Veterans' Day is such an important holiday because we should remember and honor the veterans who work so hard to protect, defend and honor the rest of the county.
My family would love to visit this place one day too. Those machines would interest my boys :)

Bet it was one fun day for all of you.
son is marching in our local veteran parade can't wait
It's great to know that veterans there are given much importance, which should always be the case in any country. I love the idea of having those memorial spots at the community level, making it closer to home and hearts of the veterans.
It is nice that your kids love to learn about history. I see that you visit quite a number of historical places.
Were also having a long weekend as my 1st grader is off Monday but hubby has no exemption regardless of him being a veteran, he has to go to work or else, no pay!
It is good these people are remembered. We went to the service at our local village. Have a good week Diane
