Today isn’t just a day for us to have a vacation, host a picnic, or shop the sales. It’s a day to remember those in the United States military who gave their lives while serving our country and protecting our freedoms. When I was growing up it was called “Decoration Day”. In 1971, Memorial Day became an official federal holiday.

Did you know Stampin’ Up! has a stamp set and dies in a Bundle called Service Essentials? You will find it in the Stampin’ Up! Online Store in the Online Essentials. This Bundle or just the stamp set can be used for anyone you want to celebrate as a hero – people who are military personnel, first responders, healthcare professionals, and maybe people serving your community. This set features bold sentiments, dog tags, stars, crosses, and rank insignias to add meaningful detail to thank-you cards, remembrance layouts, and patriotic paper crafting. As you can see, it is not just meant for military but it’s nice to have something to celebrate them especially.
