I am submitting this card for two of SCS challenges: WT571, It's Presidential (patriotic or patriotic colors); and F4A313, Masculine Hearts (add a heart to a card). Look closely and you'll see two hearts for Uncle Sam Owl's bow tie.
I've been wanting to use my SU Owl Punch, and the two challenges gave me a good reason! I decided to CASE a card I gave to my son-in-law when he was medically retired from the Army. Unfortunately, he later passed away as a result of injuries received during the Iraq War.
Moving on, note that the American flag is flying backwards on the card, just as it is on an Army uniform. Did you know that, and do you know why? Take a guess.
Hope you enjoy and thanks for stopping in!

I'm so sorry about your son-in-law. He was doing such an awesome thing defending his country. There is no way to thank our soldiers enough for what they have done and are doing for our country.
Your patriotic card is great. I love the little hearts for the bow tie. I did look up why the flag is worn backwards...something I did not know.

Adorable card! Looks like he's saying the pledge of Allegiance. I didn't know about the flag flying backwards - interesting. I am so, so sorry your son-in-law passed away as a result of his injuries while serving our country. "Home of the Free Because of the Brave" certainly applies to his sacrifice.
