rjones Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 I had a small piece of purple heart left over from another project that I couldn't figure out what to do with. So I came up with this homage for my Grand father's Navy service during WWII. oldhudson, New Guy, tomsteve and 3 others 6 Quote

rjones Posted January 14, 2016 Author Posted January 14, 2016 My thanks to you all for your kind words. I feel that none of my wood working efforts can adequately show my apperciation for my grandfather's and all Armed Force's service members, but I certainly enjoy trying to keep their selfless service in the fore front of everybodies minds.

heppnerguy Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 they are a great tribute indeed. if you have not been to Arlington Cemetery, do yourself a favor and plan a trip to DC and take it in. You will be taken to tears, I promise. Love what you did here. A fabulous job Dick heppnerguy Quote
rjones Posted January 15, 2016 Author Posted January 15, 2016 I haven't been, but have a couple of pieces that I made for loved ones that are/were on display at grave sites there. Definitely one of my greatest honors. Quote
