This is my first time joining the Blue Monday posts at Smiling Sally’s. Can’t wait to see what everybody is doing this Monday.
In honor of Memorial Day, today, I am posting Navy Blue.
Specifically U. S. Navy blue.
I want to tell you about my father-in-law, Dr. Joe B. Wharton Jr. Dr. Joe B., as he was known, was a Navy doctor during World War II. He served in the South Pacific. One of our treasures is the letters that he and my mother-in-law, Iola Holt Wharton, exchanged during his service in the South Pacific.
During Dr. Joe B.’s service, John F. Kennedy was injured on PT109. Dr. Joe B. was the doctor who attended him. John F. Kennedy and Dr. Joe B. had become friends before Mr. Kennedy’s injury and continued corresponding for many years after the war.
In 1961 The Saturday Evening Post wrote an article about John F. Kennedy’s adventures during the war. They ran the picture below.
Below is the full picture.
That is Dr. Joe B. on the left with John F. Kennedy. The dog had been adopted by JFK and the cat had been adopted by Dr. Joe B. As you can see, they were holding the pet that belonged to the other in the picture. The Saturday Evening Post contacted Dr. Joe B. for permission to use the picture with him in it. At that time, Dr. Wharton had a busy medical practice in El Dorado, Arkansas and never got around to getting back to them with permission to run the picture with him. They cropped him out and ran the picture without him.
There are several letters of correspondence between Dr. Joe B. and JFK during JFK’s presidency. These are archieved at the JFK Presidential Library.
On Memorial Day, we remember. This is just a small story from World War II that I wanted to share with you.
Hope you are all having a wonderful Memorial Day. Don’t forget to take time to honor those who have and continue to keep us safe!

Public liability insurance for painters and decorators will form a key
part of your policy, plus employers’ liability if you’ve hired
anyone (it’s usually a legal requirement). -
A painter and decorator are two different tradespeople who both work on painting and decorating projects.

Because we’re veteran?owned we show up on time, measure twice, and treat every property with the kind of respect we learned back in basic training. Choosing 6?inch K?style aluminum troughs means up to 40 percent more water moves away from your roof, preventing the dreaded waterfall effect in heavy downpours. Our team uses hidden screw?in hangers that lock gutters to the rafter tails, outclassing the rusty spike-and-ferrule setups you still see on too many older homes.

The problem is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this during my search for something relating to this.
