Popular Post heppnerguy Posted September 9 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 9 I have a grandson that had the oportunity to meet a WWl Veteran who had come to his grade school on Veterans day and talked with his class about his experience serving in the army. My grandson's interest in WWl really was sparked and he started to study about it and has become really knowlegable about it and told me that man was 104 years old at the time he came to the school. I had been looking at this pattern for quite some time as I thought the picture told a story without words. I told my grandson about it and said I would make him a piece with a picture of a dressed soldlier in uniform for him if he was interested. He became instantly excited and so I got it to him last week. Here is the results of my effort.

jerry walters Posted September 9 Report Share Posted September 9 Wow Dick, this is great. Considering your grandson's interest in WWI I'm certain this will hold a special place in his heart for a long time, especially since his grandpa made it especially for him.

Charlie E Posted September 11 Report Share Posted September 11 Excellent job and I love the pattern. I just finished watching Band Of Brothers again. It’s about WWII where my uncle was killed. Nothing but respect and gratitude for those men. MarieC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafairchild2 Posted September 11 Report Share Posted September 11 What an awesome job on that pattern. NO words are needed to explain that one. It speaks volumes on its own. heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautifully done! I found it to be a story without any needed words. It caught my attention immediately so I knew I was going to have to cut it.

sydknee Posted Sunday at 11:50 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 11:50 PM Wonderful cutting. ‘I’m always pleased to see these old soldiers honoured. One has to remember that they were young men with the rest of their lives ahead of them when they served. No matter what country they fought for they were mostly a common man that was often conscripted to suffer the horrors of wars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
