All the men in my family are military men ~ my Dad is retired Army (26 years Active service), my hubby is Active Army (18 years) and both of my brothers are Active Army (one 16 years, the other 14). I made these Veteran's Day cards for them. They all use the same stamps that I purchased in a Stamp/Scrap store in Branson, MO in May. I use Black Staz-On on all the stamping, except on the Copper Embossed Card. I used Brushed Gold Paper (that I just love) on two of the cards. The saying on the larger stamp:
To The Soldiers of America
Standing right beside us
We forget that you are there,
When trouble comes to find us
We turn to you with prayer.
Without a hesitation
You step into the fight,
Standing right before use
To protect us day and night.
You leave your home and family
Knowing where you're bound,
With courage, strength and valor
You stand a piece of ground.
Security, Peace and Freedom
Are the gifts that you supply
The Soldiers of America
On you we can rely.
Thank You
I will soon need to make a trip back to Branson, or make a phone call to them to order two more stamps that are for the Air Force, since my oldest son will be leaving January 9th for Air Force Basic Training. He is going to be an electrician on B-2 Bombers.
Thanks for reading ~
Happy Veteran's Day to all Veterans out there ~ THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! from a very proud American!!
