Happy Veteran's Day

Wishing my awesome and amazing husband a Happy Veteran's Day!

Words cannot express how lucky I am and how much you mean to me.  Thank you for your dedication to making this country a better place for all of us!

 Lest we forget those who have sacrificed for our freedoms.  There have been so many since the ages of war, but today I'd like to remember and honor our dear friends who gave the ultimate sacrifice for us.

             Capt. Nicholas Bourgeois                                   Capt. Brandon Barrett

The world will never be the same without you, but it's a better place because of you.

Thank you Marines, you are truly missed!

 A Marine’s Creed:  I was that which others did not want to be. I went where others feared to go, and did what others failed to do. I asked nothing from those who gave nothing and reluctantly accepted the thought of eternal loneliness should I fail. I have seen the face of terror, felt the stinging cold of fear, and enjoyed the sweet taste of a moment’s love.  But most of all I have lived times others would say were best forgotten. At least some day I will be able to say, I was proud of what I was and always well be …

A United States Marine!

My Love

He's coming home finally! After 6 months in Afghanistan, my baby will be in my arms on Wednesday! I couldn't be happier to have him home! Thank you for all that you have done for this great country. You are truly a great American!

I guess I need to start getting the house cleaned and stock up on beer.......!!!!!

Hurry home James!

Keep 'em coming

Ooh-rah! Yut! Hoo-ah!

Support Your Troop!

I made this Sterling medallion style pendant in honor of my husband who is currently deployed in Afghanistan. I recently bought my first hand tool alphabet (& numbers!) to play around with, so I decided to make this pendant to show support for my Marine. It's a lot smaller and dainty-er to wear rather than a large dog tag...more like a kitty tag. I'm posting this on my Etsy as a customizable item for you to display support for your service member!

Branch, Last Name, First & Middle initial are usually the standard for dog tags, as shown, but it can be made to your specifications. I'd suggest keeping the last names 9 letters or less...it gets a little crowded otherwise. Placement of the name/branch is also optional, I chose this because of the shorter last name, longer names would need to wrap across the bottom...

Wear it with other pendants, charms or alone, you could even attach it to your key chain! Whatever your use, it keeps your troop close to your heart. A supportive remembrance while they are away, or just to support them each day. Also a thoughtful gift for a wife, mother, or even retired or deceased military members. Makes a perfect sentimental reminder of the ones you love that give all they can for your freedom.
