Another card re-do

This card has been around for awhile, with the dark blue layer actually being the card, with a paper liner for writing. I re-did this a week or so ago, and it's appropriate to post it now as tomorrow we bring our sailor to the airport where he'll head toward Sigonella, Sicilly for two years. We've been blessed to have him home for a little over three weeks, and it's been great. We'll miss Stephen, of course, but it's exciting to anticipate getting to visit him there next year!

Remembering...

Today the Vietnam Memorial wall came to our town. I thought our family should go, so we went to the opening ceremonies this evening. Very moving. One of the speakers, a Vietnam veteran, had never before spoken about his experiences. One that he shared was how six times he was in a vehicle that went over a landmine, and each time the vehicle behind him blew up. Wow. My prayers are with him and other vets who may be awake late into the night tonight, reliving....

It is in thinking of these veterans especially ... but other veterans, and those currently serving as well ... that I decided to post these cards, although they are not new. May God bless them with His peace and comfort.
