This week’s Wordless Wednesday theme is near and dear to my heart. As a mom of a soldier, and knowing that so many of our young men and women put their lives on the line for our freedom makes every holiday that celebrates the sacrifices that are made for our freedom so much more to me.
I am regularly blown away by everything Disney does for our military personnel. From their exclusive Disney Resort, Shades of Green, to special park tickets and the daily flag retreat ceremony.
Great pictures! I love the Christmas lights!
Aunesty I loved your take on this week’s theme! Your photos are creative and beautiful!

Ah, Thank you!
Woohoo for Shades! I had a Shades shot on my post this week, too. What a great collection! Awesome seeing the military love!
We actually have two other posts full of photos of Shades Of Green – http://temporarytourist.com/disneys-shades-of-green-military-resort/ and our Christmas post – http://temporarytourist.com/christmas-at-disneys-shades-of-green/
I did a Shades info post last week! Haha!! Must be a Shades kind of week. 😉
Beautiful pictures! love the shirts and the flag on the jacket. I didn’t know about Shades of Green either and will have to let my brother know. It is so wonderful that Disney honors the active military and veterans. The Army men are always cool! Thanks for your sacrifice as a military mom.
LOVE the soldier and your tshirts! Thanks for your family’s service!
Thank you for your family’s service! I’m thrilled that Disney honors what you and your son do. Walt would be proud!
I’d never heard of Shades of Green until this week, and I’ve seen a couple of people mention it now. Sounds like a great organization. The army men are possibly the most appropriate picture for Memorial Day that I’ve seen so far this week. Great choice.
Thank you – – Shades of Green is pretty amazing. The first picture, is my son on the far right, he is a soldier in the US Army, my daughter in the middle and her boyfriend on the far left. When my son was here on Exodus over the holidays, we got to experience how Disney does Military tickets. The discount was amazing, and we toured Shades of Green as well… Gorgeous resort!
What great photos! I too am so moved by what Disney does for military families. Shades of Green looks like a great resort.Thank you so much for your service and sacrifice as a military mom.for our country. Thanks too for sharing and for joining in the DWW Blog Hop today.
A beautiful tribute to the heroes of our country. Thank you for being a proud military mother.
Great shots- I’d love to hear more about Shades of Green…
Love these, especially the green men!
Great shots, I agree, it’s nice Disney does so much for those that serve the country. Thanks for sharing.
I love that you included Shades of Green!
Thank you so much for using today to pay tribute to our Military! There is no better way to celebrate America than to honor them! Love the Green Army men-they are one of my favorite as they march their way through Disney California Adventure Park
