Today is an important day to honor our brave men and women who have fought and died in uniform to defend this great country of ours against all enemies. We grieve with those families who lost loved ones too soon. For them Memorial Day will always be a time of solemn remembrance. From our War of Independence to Operation Enduring Freedom and wars inbetween, we are blessed to have millions of men and women to step forward and serve to preserve our freedom. Today we stop to remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice at home and on distant battlefields in our defense.
Today at 3:00 pm there will be a National Day of Rememberance. During this time, Americans pause for the duration of one minute, regardless of where they are. This time was chosen because it is the time when many Americans are enjoying their freedoms on this national holiday. This "Moment" is an act of national unity in which all Americans, alone or with family and friends, honor those who died in service to our great country.
God bless the U S A.
God bless the U S A.

This card took me about 5 minutes to make this morning. That is thanks to a new stamp set that you will be able to order soon - Work of Art. It is a keeper! I will be sending this card to a friend of Ashley's who is serving our country in Afganistan. Come home soon Courtney!
Just CASEd your card...can't believe the versatility of this stamp set! Wish mine was clear mount though :)
ReplyDeleteI love wood mount. Glad you liked the card. I actually also CASEd it from one I saw on Facebook. So many uses for that set.
