Thank You Veterans!
A veteran is someone who, at one point in his/her life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America," for an amount of "up to and including my life."

Hi Lisa~
The quote brought tears to my eyes. Joshua has just completed his first full week of Basic Military Camp for the Air Force.
Thank you for drawing attention to our Veterans...so many people just look at it as a free day to go to the beach!
And, your card is wonderful. I love that image. And, the paper is perfect...as is that star in the center. I really like this very much. It means a lot to me...even more now. Thank you for being you, Lisa!
