Description
A beautiful U.S. Army Pillow from Fort Gorge G Meade, MD. It has printed on it "U.S. Army, For God and Country" and in the middle has a poem:Mother
To one who bears the sweetest name
And adds lustre to the same
Who shares my joys, who cheers
when sad
The greatest friend I ever had
Long Life to her for there's no other
Could take the place of my dear mother
It measures approx. 17-1/2" x 17-1/2 and is in great shape. There's two extremely small pin holes on the left hand side right under the decal of th e soldiers marching, where it appears a pin may have been put through it, perhaps with a price tag at one point? But it's in very good condition!
My father was in the Korean Conflict in 1953, & sent this to my grandmother back then. So it dates to that era. I love the history behind it in our family, but I'm downsizing.
I'm always happy to answer questions, so please feel free to ask them!
Thank you for Looking!
