rjones Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share 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, Kevin Latimer, tomsteve and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjones Posted January 14, 2016 Author Report Share 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 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjones Posted January 15, 2016 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
