Thank You Service Families

This is a photo from Arlington West, a weekly memorial put on by Veteran's for Peace.

I have a similar postcard on my kitchen bulletin board to remind me daily that this crafty, thrifty, creative life I live is brought to me by the men and women who work daily to protect our way of life.

I don't want to forget whilst trying new recipes or sewing up monkey dolls, that we are a nation at war.

This is a special message to the families of service men and women. Thank you. I have come to learn that when one person serves, the entire family serves. Thank you for your sacrifices.
