Thank You For Your Service

As the wife of an active duty military member, I understand the sacrifices that my husband makes everyday to serve our country. The job is beyond tough, the hours are grueling and most of what they do never gets noticed or ever recognized.

On this day we take time out to say, "Thank You" to all soldiers- past and present- for the sacrifices they have made to keep our country going.

It doesn't matter if you are for or against war, everyone should take the time to say 'thank you' to those who have chosen to fight for the freedom of others. Freedom has never been free. And I am thankful that there are men and women out there risking their lives to protect ours.

Why not show your appreciation by knitting some hats for soldiers. There are many organizations who collect knitted and crocheted hats to give to active duty servicemen, retirees and wounded soldiers. One such organization is Warmth for Warriors.

Or if you personally know a service member, why not make their day with a warm home-knitted gift directly from you?

THANK YOU ALL THOSE WHO HAVE SERVED OUR COUNTRY. 

THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO SERVE TODAY. 

YOU SACRIFICE YOUR FREEDOM SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO.
