And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.

My Memorial Day Weekend Bloghop "Miss You" card ....
here........ I used the OWH Sketch 26 (see below) for the design. I made a couple of adjustments to the layout to accommodate this card but overall it is the same sketch. I used plain cardstock for the blue and the red paper is from Scrapworks. The patterned designer paper is from Jenni Bowlin Classic Red. The Bassett Hound stamp is from the Stampin' Place. I just think his or her expression says it all. The sentiment stamp is from Creative Stamping. I added three buttons and tied them on with some embroidery thread and there you have it.
If you have a minute before you leave I have listed below some ways to Observe Memorial Day --
- Adorning the graves of the soldiers with flags or flowers.
- Visiting cemeteries and memorials.
- Furling the American Flag at half-mast until noon.
- Fuling the 'POW/MIA Flag'.
- Keep silence for a minute at 3 p.m., 'National Moment of Remembrance' and listen to Taps being played.
- Take a pledge to aid the disabled veterans, widows, widowers and orphans of the dead and keep it.
- You may support the effors to restore the traditional day of observance of Memorial Day back to May 30th.
- Offering thanks to the veterans and appreciating the ultimate sacrifices of the soldiers to the bereaved families personally may help too.
Thanks for stopping in.

Love that cute puppy! Thanks for the ideas of ways to celebrate Memorial Day, too. I would love to see the holiday restored to May 30 - as a 3-day weekend it has lost its meaning for many. I will be posting about that on Monday's blog.
