Patriotic Father's Day Card with Chipboard!

Why not honor dad with a patriotic card this Father's Day?

Memorial Day is a day of remembrance, a day of reflection, a day to lift up our thankful hearts to all the brave men and women who have served our country so valiantly. Its a day to honor the service and sacrifice of all those who have fought to preserve the freedoms we now enjoy as citizens of America! We all know somone or have a loved one who has served in the Armed Forces, many who gave their lives for this great country: grandfathers, fathers, brothers, uncles, cousins, friends, neighbors, co-workers and acquaintances have served in the Armed Forces and deserve our respect and honor. Many have relatives currently serving here and abroad who are not able to be here to share in this weekend of remembrance, and they sacrifice and do their part to protect us all and to continue the legacy of our forefathers-to help keep this the land of the brave and the free...My husband, and dad served in the Army, my brother served in the Navy. My grandparents fought for this country.. as many of yours did as well.

Take time to remember our veterans and all those who currently serve in our armed forces this weekend. To read some wonderful tributes that you can share with your children and extended families this holiday weekend-click HERE.
