Memorial Day May 27th, 2013

During this time all participants are encouraged to remain silent for the period of one minute in honor of our fallen who have paid the ultimate price with their lives to defend and maintain our countries freedom.

Just a Word

Good Day Patriot Woodworkers: Memorial day, a day when family and friends come together and unite in the backyard over a wonderful barbecue, the swimming pool, good music, great friends and awesome food! It is the traditional kick off to summer and for the kids it signifies the closing of another school year, yipeee!!!

We all know the reason though that this most solemn day of remembrance exist. As we all enjoy the day, and take advantage of the shortened work week, let us not forget the real reason we are asked to take a day off from work and remember those who have paid the ultimate price for us to live freely and move about day to day unhindered by evil forces that have tried to invade our country and our lifestyle. Over the last 200 plus years our country has fought in wars to maintain our liberty and freedom from tyrants and evil forces. We owe our lives and our personal freedoms to these men and women who laid down their lives for us. We are still engaged in battles today that take the lives of our country men and women. This year many families are observing Memorial Day while missing their own loved ones who only last year at this time had a seat at the dinner table, but are now gone.

So for this most solemn day of all holidays, let us not forget why we are home or on a trip, and just take a moment out of the day to say Thank You. And if you happen to see a veteran on the street or at the supermarket, please take a few seconds to just say Thank You.

From the crew at The Patriot Woodworker, we wish you all a wonderful memorable day with loved ones and good friends, and please be safe!

The Military Challenge Coin Project, Get Your Displays In!!!

It's not too late Patriot Woodworkers! We have received some wonderful displays over the last few weeks and we are getting ready to ship them off to Dwight Eisenhower Army Hospital in Fort Gordon GA around the end of this month. So you still have time to get em in!

If you need more information or help with this project please call us at (951) 570-9711 or email thepatriotwoodworker@verizon.net for details. You can also help us by donating some much needed cash to help defray the costs of the shipping to the hospital. Please consider donating at The Patriot Woodworker's Donor Page, any amount helps, 5,10,15 dollars. If you are unable to help us build the displays, then helping us get them shipped is just as valuable an effort!

We also recently sent some displays to a Marine Captain who contacted us a short time back and asked us if we could build some for his guys, we immediately sent him some displays we had on standby. Capt Joe Reney on the far right below with his men, they now have a place for their treasured challenge coins!

Please take a moment to visit our supporters below, they support our site and our veterans. Without the valuable support of our friends featured below, we could not continue to do the work we do. Thank you!!!
