Today, I’m not sharing a craft or a recipe…I’m simply expressing my gratitude to all of our country’s veterans. I made this shadowbox display after my favorite GI Joe’s second deployment. I think it spells out why he, and millions of other military members, as well as their families, do what they do…being separated from loved ones for months at a time, working twelve hour days when they aren’t deployed, and, for far too many, selflessly sacrificing their own lives.
Since retiring a month ago, my husband has embarked on a new career, working with transitioning veterans in Washington state. I’m thankful he’s found a job that allows him to continue to serve others. Although I’m not sure he realizes it, that’s where his heart lies…in making a difference every day, no matter how small.
Our country is blessed beyond measure by our military members. I hope we never forget to show them our appreciation, and always give them our unwavering support.
Thank you to all who serve.
Lovely tribute, Megan. So happy to hear about the new career, too.
Thanks, Kathy!
