It's Friday, which means it's time to join
Annie (at
A Stitch in Time) and the lovely ladies at
Friday Smiles. Today we are headed back to the Eisenhower Museum. If you are not interested in this museum, feel free to skip down to my ICADs.
We left off with this photo showing world activity in WWII in early 1942.
In late 1941, Ike left Texas
because General Marshall called him to Washington, D.C. to work in the War Department.
Ike became General Marshall's assistant, at which time Ike came up with a plan for every supreme command in the war.
As you can read, Ike
was named Assistant Chief of Staff in charge of
War Plans in early 1942. He received a temporary promotion to major general in March and was
named Assistant Chief of Staff of the New Operations Division. When his father died that same year, he was unable to return home to attend the funeral due to his duties at the War Department.
This is how Operation OVERLORD (D-Day) started.
Ike arrived in London in May to study joint defense. It was at that time he was appointed Commander of
the European Theater of Operations.
Mamie moved often in those days, as you can read.
This shows the allied powers
during the war.
Now we're getting away from Ike
and concentrating on weapons of war
during that era.
I wonder how many of these would be used in today's armed services.
These are all American firearms
and weapons.
Next we shift to women in the military
during WWII, and some of the uniforms they wore.
During WWI, the U.S. military was segregated. Ike fought hard to integrate the military in WWII. He also fought hard for equality.
I think this is a good place to stop this week.
And now for this week's ICADs:
 |
| Snow day? |
 |
| Joy |
 |
| If only |
 |
| Color my world |
 |
| It's all relative |
 |
| Take a bite out of it |
 |
| Free bird |
Thanks so much for joining
Bleubeard and me today. Please let me know if you like any of these. If you know someone who is a blogger and
is sharing their ICADs, please let me know and I will visit them. I
have no way of seeing them on other social media sites.
Let's also head over to Annie's because she knows how to put a smile on everyone's faces. And whatever you do, please
don't forget to start your weekend off right with a few Friday Smiles
of your own. And remember, if you would like to play along, Annie will welcome you just as she did me many years ago.

Lovely ICADs. If wishes were horses I'd be galloping away somewhere else right now! Have a great day, keep cool! Valerie
Love the ICADs....It's good to see you're being creative. I'm sure it helps us get through these difficult times.
Hugs,

I've been enjoying seeing your museum photos. Lovely ICAD artwork. You've been very creative again this week dear Elizabeth.
More than 16 million, that is some sad number.
I can´t read the section on diversity, can you explain?
No! Nonono, no snow, eeek!
"It's all relative" is my favorite this time :-)
Another interesting trip to the museum. Ike appeared to be ahead of his time. Another great crop of ICADs except the snow made me cry 😉
Wonderful ICADs again this week Elizabeth. I have two favourites this week: Free Bird (because birds and bingo), and It’s all Relative (because circles, stitching and dictionary).
There's lots of nice things today to see. I am enjoying this visit to the Eisenhower museum. Ike was quite the guy. No wonder why people voted him for president. And nice collection of ICADS. Hope i's a great Friday and start to your weekend. Hugs-Erika
I always enjoy visiting this museum Awesome week of ICADS Elizabeth
How difficult it must have been for Ike not to be able to go home for his father's funeral. Kind of the situation lots are finding themselves in today. As always, love the pieces especially If Wishes Were Horses:)
Stay safe. Be healthy.
Fabulous visiting the museum with you! Those ICADs are beautiful and those horses are adorable 😁. I hope you've had a lovely week! Happy weekend! Hugs, Jo x
Wow I would love to go to this museum. You have shared so many amazing aspects of it. Of course I love your art.
I know Mo is doing ICAD with her grandson Logan but I don’t know if she is sharing them. Would you like me to ask her xxx
Always enjoy following you around the museum but loving the ICADs even more. Have a lovely weekend. Hugs to you both, Angela xXx
Terrific post ~ Pinterest has lot's of ICAD inspiration if you have access to that site. I love Pinterest and get lost in visual delights quite often :) Enjoy the weekend!
Interesting as always....still getting my computer programes added to my new one so takes so much of my time.xx
Super photos and the information boards are so clear to read, I am thinking some may have been behind glass. I enjoyed your post and the visit to the museum.
Stay safe.

Lots of creativity in your ICAD Elizabeth. If wishes were horses....now there's an idea. Sorry I didn't get to visit yesterday. I doing a quick round today instead. It is very hot here already, so I need to get to everyone before lunch. It will be too hot to even sit by the computer after that. kate x
Wonderful ICADs Elizabeth! We've been on the same wavelength, I made one very similar to 'It's all relative' this week. Great titles too as always.

Thanks for another interesting museum exhibit.I am always most fascinated with the clothing in exhibits.
Super ICADS- but the snow one- I can't bear the thought of it at the moment:)
Enjoyable to see your museum photographs.
Nice to see your ICADs, they look great.
All the best Jan
