What. A. Fantastic. Day. I joined the Support the Survivors of Iwo Jima and Operation Thank You for a day of recognition and honor. I had the chance to sit and talk with several WWII veterans throughout the day. The journeys they went through and the lessons they share will forever stay with me. Especially because I had the chance to meet and take home a limited edition book containing their photos and stories! Some of the vets even took the time to make me some notes and dictate their memories behind each photo!
My princess and I also visited the memorial together and took part in a ceremony to recognize the lost and honor the surviving. I recommend visiting the memorial and taking a moment to recognize the sacrifice and struggles that were undergone to bring us to where we are today. Furthermore, we had the chance to bestow quilts of valor on some of the veterans. Overall the day was extremely moving, and I look forward to the next day I get to spend with these incredible veterans!XOXO Lauren
