“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” -John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Veteran’s Day is a day that holds a special place in my heart. Not only because I am wife to a man who has chosen to dedicate his life to the service of his country in a way that few ever do. Not only because I am the grand-daughter of a man who, together with his entire generation, sacrificed and served for something greater than himself. But also because I know that I am blessed to live freely and live safely and live with choice and opportunity because of the men and women in uniform who have lived and died so that I could.
That is a kind of service that could never be adequately honored. It is the kind of service for which I give gratitude with my whole heart. It is the kind of service I hope to never take for granted.
And so with a humble heart full of thanks to all those who have served and who serve today, I say “thank you”.

And in honor of this day, I’d like to offer a fresh free download. 
It was inspired by the service of those in uniform. And created with a heart full of gratitude and hope to honor our veterans here in the U.S. but can certainly be used for any page or project. And I got a little help from my kindred spirit and the fabulously talented Amy too! She contributed some of her amazing mishmashed sentiments!
I so hope you enjoy! Feel free to click the images or {this link} to download (everything shown is shown in separate previews, but available in a single download).
