    1. That much beauty I am sure would heal any wounded guy ♥️

      Lyda’s words on Veterans Day

      On Veterans Day, I think of my first interaction with wounded Vietnam War veterans, who I visited as Miss World USA.
      I think of how impactful it was.
      It forever changed my view of war, of sacrifice, of honor, and of suffering.
      I thank you today and every day for all you’ve done for our country, and I salute you.
      Love,
      Lynda

    2. That’s such a cool bit of history-the kind of wholesome old-school photo that perfectly captures those morale-boosting hospital visits from the ‘70s. Everyone looks genuinely happy to be there.

    3. I would not have recognized Priscilla Barnes, and she was always my favorite on *Three’s Company*.
