Wordless Wednesday – Veterans Day

Today, for Wordless Wednesday, I'm honoring our Veteran's.

Today, for Wordless Wednesday, I’m honoring our Veteran’s.

Hello everyone, and welcome to this week’s Wordless Wednesday post!  This week, my friend Deb from Focused on the Magic set the theme as the “Disney Side”, but for me, I’m going to continue my thanks of our Veterans from Veterans Day.  These pictures are all ones that I think are patriotic in nature, I hope you enjoy them!

My friends, I hope you have enjoyed this look at some of the patriotic things that I appreciate at Disney.  I didn’t even share with you any of the Hall of Presidents or Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln, but they could have easily been on this post as well!  Please take the time to stop by and visit with the other sites, and thank you for taking time to spend part of your day here at My Dreams of Disney!  Have a Magical Disney Day, everyone!

Saluting our Veterans on Veterans Day!

 

mdod-DIP-213x150

Far too often, our men and women in service to our country are forgotten while they put themselves in harms way to keep America safe from the likes of terrorists and other people that would do us harm.  Today is Veterans Day, and here at My Dreams of Disney, we remember that so many people have given of themselves — and sometimes paid the ultimate price — so that the rest of us could enjoy the freedoms that our great country has provided to us.  So for today, we are remembering all of you — the men and women of our armed forces, and their parents, brothers, sisters, sons, and daughters that have paid such a heavy price in service to our country. Sit back, enjoy the pictures, and remember the sacrifice that our troops — and their families — give of themselves day in and day out, to keep their loved ones and all of us safe in America.

Veterans Day at Disney In Pictures!

Hello everyone, it is Veterans Day at Disney In Pictures!  At least, it will be on Sunday, November 11, 2012!  As you all know, Disney in Pictures is my way of saying thank you to each and every one of you that take the time to stop by and visit.  Here’s how it works:

  1. The theme this week is Veterans Day.  Please check your photos and send your favorite photos of Veterans — either at Disney or not — and email them to me!  My email address is mickey@mydreamsofdisney.com.
  2. In the email, attach your photos, and include your name, why the picture is special to you, and the name of your blog if you have one.
  3. Then, on Sunday, November 11, 2012, come back to the site to see your pictures in my post as we proudly say thank you to each and every one of the Veterans of our armed forces!

Since we weren’t able to serve in the military, Cindy & I have always done my best to make sure that I reached out to the members of our armed services, no matter where I saw them, and thanked them for their service.  To top it off, it always touches me to see Sophie stop as we are walking and thank a Veteran.  We are proud when she does that!

What better way to thank our troops then to share the photos that you send in to us of your loved ones for them to look at when they are away, or even see if they are home now?  I’ll spread out some pictures as well that tie into this week’s post — maybe even include some from Disney!

I hope that you all take the time to contribute this week!  Let’s do our troops proud!  Thanks!

Veterans Day 2011

Once again on this Veterans Day, I would like to take time out of our lives to thank all of those wonderful men and women of our armed forces for all that they have contributed to our country.  It takes a real hero to do what they do, and all of their dedication and bravery throughout the history of our country is greatly appreciated.  To honor them, I am posting two videos I have; the first was created last year out of still pictures from the Main Street Electrical Parade; the second is actual video of the Main Street Electrical Parade.  I hope you enjoy them both.

Here is last year’s video:

This is the second video, shot during our summer trip:

Once again, thank you to all of our veterans!  You are all truly special in our eyes!
