THIS KITTEN WANTS TO WISH YOU A WONDERFUL MEMORIAL DAY!!

I WANTED TO TAKE A MOMENT TO WISH ALL OF YOU A WONDERFUL MEMORIAL DAY! I AM SO THANKFUL AND WOULD LOVE TO TAKE A MOMENT TO REMEMBER ALL THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO SERVED IN THE YESTER YEARS FOR ME & MY LIL' CHICKS FREEDOM! I GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR SERVICE AND HONOR YOU ALL!

MEMORIAL DAY IS PRETTY IMPORTANT TO THIS KITTEN... I OFTEN THINK ABOUT THE MEN OUT ON THE FRONT LINES DURING WWI, THE KOREAN WAR, & WWII. THEIR SERVICE AND THE HONOR OF THIS COUNTRY IS BECAUSE OF THEM...

BUT THERE IS MUCH MORE... IT IS THE EXAMPLE OF HOME FRONT SERVICE DURING THOSE HARD TIMES. THAT IS WHAT GREATLY MOVES ME! WHEN I THINK OF THE HOUSEWIVES DURING WAR! THIS VINTAGE LOVE'N GAL IS IN DEBT, GREATLY MOVED AND TAUGHT BY YOU LADIES.

YOUR STRENGTH OF DOING WITHOUT, PITCHING IN, AND SACRIFICE DURING SUCH HARD TIMES TEACHES THE LADIES DURING THIS TIME THE STRENGTH AND QUALITY OF A VINTAGE MILITARY HOUSEWIFE!

BECAUSE OF THE LADIES DURING WWII, SO MUCH HAS CHANGED FOR THE "WOMAN"...FASHION CHANGED BECAUSE THEY HAD TO MAKE DUE WITH SO MUCH LESS.

THE 20'S WERE FULL OF GLAMOR AND LONG BEAUTIFUL GOWNS...BUT THE WOMEN OF THE LATE 40'S... HONEY, FARM DRESSES AND WRAP APRONS BECAME POPULAR BECAUSE OF THE SHORTAGE OF SO MUCH.. OUR DRESSES WERE SHORTENED AND WOMEN HAD TO LOOK ELSE WHERE FOR FABRICS... SO ONE OF A KINDS WERE MADE OUT OF OL' FLOUR SACKS AND OL CURTAINS. { WHICH IS WHY I AM SO IN LOVE WITH COLLECTING VINTAGE DRESSES...THEY HAVE SUCH A STORY!}

THIS ERA OF THE VINTAGE HOUSEWIFE MADE SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING! BECAUSE OF THEM, OUR" WOMEN'S RIGHTS "WERE EMBRACED. THEIR READINESS TO FILL THEIR HUSBANDS JOBS, SERVE THEIR COUNTRY, AND STILL HOLD DOWN THE HOME FRONT SHOWED GREAT STRENGTH... DOIN' THIS ALL THE WHILE LOOKIN' SO BEAUTIFUL AND MAKING THEIR HOUSES HOMES. I AM JUST SO MOVED AND AMAZED!

SO THANK YOU VINTAGE MILITARY HOUSEWIVES OF YESTER YEAR AND NOW...THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO YOUR FAMILIES AND TO THIS GREAT COUNTRY!

...SO AS THIS VINTAGE HOUSEWIFE... WHO SHE HERSELF, HAS DONE THE DUTY OF SUPPORTING HER MAN IN UNIFORM... I WILL TIE A YELLOW RIBBON IN MY HAIR AND REMEMBER THE SERVICE, SACRIFICE,& STRENGTH... AND HONOR ALL THE VINTAGE MILITARY WIVES & HUSBANDS OF YEARS PAST AND PRESENT!

LETS REMEMBER THOSE LADIES AND GET ON BOARD GALS, WEAR ONE ON MONDAY SEND A COMMENT SAYIN' YOU DID SO AND LET THE GALS OUT THEIR KNOW WE CARE!

I WILL SAY A PRAYER, & PRAISE THE LORD FOR ALL OF YOU, YOUR HUSBANDS AND THIS GREAT COUNTRY!!! GOD BLESS YOU! CAT^..^
