Remember, Reflect and Honor

I know many people are looking forward to Memorial Day weekend (myself included), but did you know Armed Forces Day is this Saturday the 17th? it's a day dedicated to the men and women who serve in the military. Just thinking about all the people who have pledged to protect our country has me feeling very proud and thankful, especially as I think of the potential danger they live with day in and out. Our patriotic guardian angel throw can be a source of comfort for family members of servicemen and women who are currently serving overseas.

But there's no need to wait to show your appreciation. You can do it anytime. Our sharp-looking Army, Marines, Air Force, and Navy t-shirts, sure to catch anyone's eye, are a great way to show support ANY day of the year! I gave one to a friend of mine who is a retired Marine and he loves wearing it when he goes out and about.

Memorial Day tends to signal the start of many summer weekend BBQs. Sometimes seating runs unexpectedly short, so it's always handy to have a chair of your own on hand! Keep one of our Army or Marines fold-up chairs in your trunk and you'll never be without a patriotic place to sit. They're also a thoughtful (and very useful) gift for veterans!

On a slightly more serious note, while Memorial Day is a day of family gatherings and picnics, it's also a day of remembrance for those who died in our nation's service. A special and unique way to honor a family member or friend who gave the ultimate sacrifice is with the comforting sounds made by a memorial wind chime. The pewter chime clapper can be personalized for a beautiful and sentimental tribute.
