Hello friends! Happy Memorial Day to everyone. It’s a time to remember those that gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country. They were true heroes and will never be forgotten.
I decided to make a special card this year as a tribute to my father-in-law who recently passed away. He served for over 23 years in the army with 3 tours in Vietnam. He was an amazing man and hero to his family and country. He will forever be in my heart. ❤
Since Memorial Day isn’t really a holiday for giving cards, I decided to also make a few cards to thank our current and retired service members. I am so grateful for everyone that serves to protect our freedoms. THANK YOU!
