Crafting for Veterans

One of the nicest things about social media is the ability to connect with others that you wouldn’t otherwise. Perhaps one of my favorite things amongst crafting groups is when I run across card requests for people who can use a little pick-me-up or something for a special birthday.

I absolutely adored both of my grandfathers. One served in the Army in the Aleutian Islands during WWII and the other in the Navy during the Korean War. This generation sacrificed so much for us, I appreciate it and have a huge soft spot for these vets. It is a generation that is passing away quickly. I’m excited to see card requests for vets with 100th birthdays. I’ve had the opportunity to send out quite a few cards for them the last few years as they hit this milestone, thanks to social media.

Today’s featured card is for a gentleman that served in the Army in Italy during WWII driving a bulldozer creating roads for tanks. I used one of my very favorite stamps sets from Kindred Stamps called “Born To Be Brave”. I’ve used this for so many projects! You will see this set featured in a previous blog post too!
