This is lovely and a great tribute to your dad...the pp doesn't look specifically navy..but patriotic. Lol him rolling in his grave. My dad was in the navy and used to joke about how they were the ones that got the marines where they needed to go.
Great lo Cathe. I for one (mom of a sailor) think that it is fitting that you had to use that Navy pp. After all the two services are linked. Your journaling is just right. I like the distressing on the journaling that echoes the edges of the snapshot.
Wonderful tribute! DD and GD of Marines - Hoorah! GF was with 5th/5th in Iwo Jima. Thanks for sharing! I had GF's burial flag flown at USMC Iwo Jima Memorial in DC - it's free and you get certificate. This was a very special memory for me and my GS who got the President's Award at school just as they were raising his GGF's flag!
Since it is Veteran's Day I thought I'd make a LO of my Dad. Tge smaller photo is Dad in New Caledonia. Journaling: this is a photo of Ralph Mehall in his dress clothes. I'm not sure when he enlisted, but I think it was 1942. He would have been twenty years old. He was very proud to have been a Marine. He taught his kids to sing "From the Halls of Montezuma". Ralph was stationed in New Caledonia during World War II. My brother Mark thought Dad saw action, but didn't talk about it. Ralph's two brothers Pete (Lawrence) and Tim were also in the Military. His brother John wasn't. Cathe Mehall Rumery (his daughter) The background paper is from a K and Company pkg. My sister gave it to me. It is really a "Navy" package. Dad is probably rolling over in his grave. The tank and compass were the only things left on an old sticker sheet that was also K and Co. The title was cut with my Silhouette.
