Y'all have seen this line of projects that I sell at craft shows. John talked me into posting this project in this album because $5 of every one of these "Wings" that I sell gets donated to WWP (Wounded Warriors Project). These "Wings" are approximately 19" long and are made from four different 3/8" species of wood - Walnut for the back, Cherry and Maple for the feathers and Red Oak for the insignia.© Pop's Shop 2017

Memorial Day, a day of remembrance and honoring those who have put it all on the line and who paid the ultimate price while serving under the flag of The United States of America. I have mixed emotions about this day. As we roll through the daily grind of holding down a day job, we all love to have that "Monday" off and spend it with our families, and with hobbies such as woodworking, boating and camping and many other activities we Americans enjoy during this extended weekend. It's the official kick off to summer as well. But as I walked through the front doors of a major home center this morning looking for some supplies to complete some long standing "Honey-Do" list that I have been trying to knock down for years but just never seems to end, I spot a big colorful sign at the entrance of our local home center and the sign states in big bold happy letters, "HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!". Happy? There is nothing "Happy" about this most solemn of days contained in our annual calender of holidays. What is "Happy" about this day? This one day we are supposed to take time and reflect upon those who gave their life defending our country, and protecting us from the very bad people of this world, happy? What is "Happy" about men and women losing their life before their life even began, many in their teens, and some cases even under aged, yet they wanted to serve our country so bad, they lied about their age to get into the service. What is happy about a day that we are supposed to memorialize dead Americans, most who died for a righteous cause, and many who may not have. There is nothing happy about this day my friends. Sure, my family and I will enjoy our "Monday Off" because we will be with each other, but we will also be attending a function in honor of our dead Americans where the event is sure to be solemn. For my wife and I, we will carry a heavy heart throughout the day, and our children will be encouraged to keep those same sentiments in their hearts as well. Do not think that for one instance if our military was not standing post with rifle in hand, that our enemies would just sit by and do nothing. The only reason we are able to live our lives day in and day out, without worries, able to go about our day to day tasks of visiting a Starbucks before work, seeing a movie with our family, or the simple task of having a restful sleep during the night, all of those simple things we take for granted, are completely owed to those who protect us every day. Lets enjoy the day off, lets enjoy being in company of the ones we love, but the whole while, lets not let the feeling of solemness, and remembrance leave our hearts. We owe those who are no longer with us, that. Just one day is all they are asking. Memorial Day, May 25th 2015. May God always bless the men and women who serve our country, and may He keep in a very special place those who died in service and long after, for they are the ones who gave of themselves selflessly, and they will be "Forever Young". And we'd like to ask each and every one to pray at your barbecue for our troops both past and present, and set out an empty setting over an empty chair at your dinner table, in memory, and in hope that our men and women serving today will all come home very soon.

I am composing a blog of sorts that includes some Air Force terminology. So I have a question to the Air Force folks out there, when we are talking about the men and women who serve in the Air Force, how do we address them in proper spelling? Is it : Airmen? airmen Air Men air men Thanks for any help! -

From the album: The Patriot Woodworkers Challenge Coin Displays
Sometimes we get requests from the military to simply send out some displays to be given to our troops for a job well done, and again we always oblige. Tsgt Airman Brown is given a Patriot Woodworker display for his challenge coins for a job well done while answering a call to an air strip collision, he performed above and beyond the call of duty, and was awarded a Patriot Woodworker display at the Kandahar Airbase in Afghanistan.© The Patriot Woodworker
