Default Military Themed Stamps

I just found out that my uncle has been chosen to fly on the New England Honor Flight which is a program that honors veterans by flying them on a VIP trip to Washington DC for a day. At the start of the trip they give each veteran a mailbag with cards and letters from family and friends so, of course, I need to participate in that! Unfortunately, I don't have any military themed stamps. Does anyone have any recommendations on who has images like that?

TIA!

Congrats to your uncle!

When I need to do a special card with a subject I'm not likely to use much again, I usually try to find a clip art image instead of buying a whole stamp set that I probably won't use much.

Here's a link to Google clip art for military images. Maybe you can find something you would like to use for your card.

What branch was he in? I can send some images. I live in Mass too so it shouldn't take too long for you to get them. PM me your address and I will get them out ASAP.

also: there's Repeat Impressions and Verve Stamp. I just spent nearly $100 on stamps between the 2 for cards for Honor Flight Mail Call.

Congrats to your uncle and thank you for his service!

If you have not decided yet, here might be more choices:

Addicted to Stamps
Object moved

Crazy Mountain stamps
http://crazymountainstamps.com/unmou...aryimages.html

amazon-a number of DRS is there. I have some of those. You can go to them direct
https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...+rubber+stamps

I looked at ebay and they had a batch. The good thing about them is there might some images we cant get anymore-or at least points you to companies who make them. Check under both military and then patriotic. Etsy may have some too.
