Veterans Day blog hop

Photobucket

Veterans Day originated as “Armistice Day” on Nov. 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance, and Nov. 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938. President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed legislation in 1954 to change the name to Veterans Day as a way to honor those who served in all American wars. The day honors military veterans with parades and speeches across the nation. A national ceremony takes place at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.

America is the Land of the Free, because of the brave. Veteran’s Day celebrates and acknowledges the service of all United States Military Veterans. Today we honor the brave men and women who have served in the American Military. With great respect, and a heart full of pride, we say a great big THANK YOU to those who have served. Please hop with us as we pay homage to the people who help keep America the Land of the Free.

You should have started at Melissa's Blog. If you did not, please go back and start from the beginning. You don't want to miss any of these fabulous projects!


For my projects I used a great set from Stampin' Up and some paper I had in my stash.
I love this eagle, he is so regal and cool

This eagle looks very serious about his country, don't mess with the US!!

I took a group shot just to show you how cool they are (lol)

In honor of the men and women fighting for our freedom, giving up their own freedom and families so we can be comfortable in our homes, kiss our babies and spouses each day...Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
