Thank You for Your Service

Today is Memorial Day; a day to remember those who fought and died
for our freedom.


I'm thankful that these brave souls fought for us.

I'm also thankful for the loved ones who shared these men and women with us.

I'm thankful too for those who came home when their comrades didn't.

They are the bravest of all.

Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

Beautiful card for this day. I am so thankful for our soldiers past and present. Without them, our country would not be what it is. I'm always in awe of those who fight for our country and to their families as they pay the price as well. Maybe one day we can have a world without war and won't have to send loved ones off to fight in a war. Hugs, Brenda

Soldiers who died for our freedom should be commemorated. They paid the highest price, for our happiness. These maki pay tribute to the dead. They look great, I love your watercolor technique.
