In Honor of Flag Day

There's a challenge going on over at Splitcoast Stampers right now for the Clean and Simple group called "Things That Fly" (click HERE for the challenge). Well, I decided to participate today by making a card in honor of Flag Day.

Not much is known (I'm sure) about Flag Day. But here is a teeny snippet of information I pulled up from Wiki:

It commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States, which happened that day by resolution of the Second Continental Congress in 1777.

I think that's pretty cool!

Now, I'm fiercely patriotic. I signed the dotted line, held up my right hand, and swore to defend my country by serving in the military. So making this card was pretty straight forward...sort of. I decided to drop one of the stars down and not really make it *look* like a flag. The "fallen" star is to commemorate all those fallen soldiers who, like me, also signed, held up THEIR hands and swore to defend this great country of ours. They...are MY heroes.



If you have a flag I hope it's out there flying high & waving proudly today.
