What Is A Hero?
Christa Parker
|
 |
You ask any military family member who their hero is and without thinking twice their reply would be their loved one in uniform. These men and women have sacrificed so much serving their country. The devotion, commitment, and loyalty they have for their country and other soldiers
make them true heroes in my eyes.
My father served 31 years in the Army.
He served in two wars, had his helicopter shot down in Vietnam, missed seeing the birth of many grandchildren and missed many holidays with his family. And still went to work everyday with a smile on his face. He loved serving his country. He is my hero.
My husband is currently serving in the Army. He too has seen his share of foreign countries. He has also missed many of our children’s birthdays, holidays and anniversaries. But he loves what he does and we are proud of him. He, too, is my hero.
So next time you see someone in the military, stop them and tell them thank you for everything they are doing. They all are true heroes.

Design note:
Sanding Core'dination cardstock is just too
much fun! It totally changed the look of
the cardstock. I wanted to put a rub-on on my layout but the color of my cardstock was too bright, I just sanded a little bit to smooth the color and then
I applied the rub-on.

Design note:
When I saw this picture come up in the view finder I knew at that moment I had captured an "emotionally" perfect picture. It tells a story all on its own. I love it. To showcase it I didn't want lots of paper and embellishments to detract from what I think is the best picture I have ever taken. Using a subtle color palette helped to put the emphasis on the photo and nothing else.

In Your Eyes by Kristene Boston. Supplies:
Cardstock: Bazzill Basics Papers,

Journaling: Usually I see Dedication,
Love, Determination, Compassion, Truth and
Strength. But this one time, in this
singular moment I saw more. This time there
was a fatigue brought on by years of
selfless dedication securing the training
your soldiers need to succeed. I saw the
toll two combat zones and all the stress and
strain that comes with them. I saw the
concern for the Army and where the country
is going. In this one fleeting moment I saw
the cares of the world... of your world
weighing heavily on those rock hard
shoulders.
