Every day I am thankful for the brave men and women who serve in our armed forces. July, with Independence Day on the fourth, seems a wonderful opportunity to express how we feel about our military both those at home and abroad.

Think of them as you go to your parades, your parties and your cookouts. Think of them as you go back home to your comfortable home and soft bed.

Thank God for them as you tuck in your kids for the night or kiss your spouse as you turn out the light.

Pray for their safety and for their families as you say your prayers.

To create cards and pages to send to, or in honor of those in the military, we aren’t limited to red, white and blue, extreme military themes or camouflage, although that is where our mind goes first.

I went to Debbie Mumm’s Glory Glory to find backgrounds for this project. The verses are from my book “Military Moments” which is available (Thank you PCC!) right here on site.

Selection Four will show you that you need nothing except your favorite photo to create a special page. Well, your photo and a bit of imagination, that is!
