Thanks to those who serve.

All my life I liked a guy in uniform, it always brought tears from my eyes and pride to my heart. This all started with my brothers enlisting in the service and coming home in uniform. Later I realized it was not the uniform but the job they might have to do. I can never find the words to that expressed my appreciation for what they did for all of us.

Maybe thanking them in my heart and on paper will give them a glimps of my feelings. To my brothers who served and became better husbands and fathers, this is for you. For me you have been friends and supporters in my life, with valued advice and hugs when needed.

Stars & Strips Forever.

With the Fourth of July right around the corner. I start thinking of the gals and guys who fight so hard for our freedom. I myself have five out of six brothers that served. Four never saw fighting, but one did. It's hard to tell them how proud I am. Just because they didn't see fighting doesn't mean they're not brave. They knew when they signed up what the contract said. So that makes them brave.

So last year I designed two types of cards. One saying that we are proud of our country and one that says thanks. I sold all the thank you cards so you will not see an example of that card. But here is the other. I plan once again this year to send my brothers a card saying thanks. They are what America is made of. Land of the proud, because of the brave.

To my brothers, I love you and am so proud. God Bless you.
