A Salute To America’s Veterans
When I was a young girl, standing on the curb waving my little flag as the Veterans Day parade passed by, I didn’t really understand then why the mood was so somber; I certainly do now. With that in mind, I’d like to share a few of my favorite items which I think best represent the patriotic feel of November.
If you like your war stories in the form of action films, you’re going to need a LOT of popcorn because “American Stories of War” will have you glued to the screen with 100 hours of documentary footage, plus a 50-movie pack of combat films!
Speaking of movies, Hollywood has always done its part to support the war effort. Remember when Marilyn Monroe interrupted her honeymoon with Joe DiMaggio to perform for troops in Korea? The Marilyn Entertains The Troops 
lithograph captures one of the most important performances of her lifetime. And what a great patriot Bob Hope was; I think we all will forever appreciate the way he brought our troops laughter and song when they needed it most. Bob Hope The Vietnam Years DVD compiles the best moments from his tours from 1964 to 1972.
Here’s a beautiful way to pay tribute to our military. The Military Uniforms Wall Art traces the styles of uniforms of all 4 branches (choose your favorite) from Revolutionary War days to the present. Another beautiful piece, the Vietnam Wall Memorial Art, I know will stir poignant memories of the turbulent 60s and 70s for you, just as it does for me.
If you are one of those people who likes to let your apparel reflect your patriotism, you’ll be proud to wear the “Some Gave All” cap. I’m choosing to honor those who are still POW/MIA with the Not Forgotten T-shirt.
In keeping with our theme, I’d like to salute our loyal customers and say, it is an honor to serve you! Happy November!
