A Thank You to Our Heros

I love this image from Sassy Cheryl. I bought it last year and I think it says so much about what the men and women who serve do for this great country when they fight to protect not only the people that live where ever they are serving but also so we can live free and safe. Some with the ultimate sacrifice. I  never want to forget or take for granted what America stands for.

I agree with Judy. A work of art it is! I agree. I think that it speaks volumes to what our men and women of the armed forces do for us. It's simple a stunning card and I'm so glad that you shared it in the challenge this week.
LOVE IT!

What an amazing work of art you've created. Whatever serviceman receives this card, he or she is going to know that you CARE. It's just WONDERFUL. I hope we never take our freedom for granted, because there are too many that have paid the price for it.
