1. I wanted to make a special card today for a special reason. I made this card for Ed, a very special 24 year old young man who recently was sent to Iraq and returned to the U.S. shortly thereafter.
2. That might seem like a happy ending but in reality its a difficult beginning to a life that's been changed. Ed is returning home without both legs and an arm. His young wife has a baby on the way and they have a difficult time ahead adjusting to a different way of life!
Click into this thread and send a card to Ed. Thank him for his service and wish him well.

Your card is very nice and a great interpretation of the Posh shirt. I too, thought of making a card based on it. I only got two made but this shirt is still in mind for another day. Very thoughtful to send this card to Ed. I can't imagine what he and his family is going through.

Cindy your card is way better than your inspiration. I'm glad to see you in the IC, I have a card I'll get off to Ed in tomorrow's mail. This is a perfect man card. Love it.
