Memorial Day tribute

Many of my illustrations have All-American Flags hanging proudly.  They remind me to be thankful and to remember those that have served our country.

    I love that you insert the flag in your illustrations. My 12 year old is getting up early tomorrow to join a group of kids that place flags on the neighborhood's front lawns for the holiday. I hope to explain to the kids just why we have the day off to bbq.

    Happy Memorial Day! What fun ilustrations. They are perfect for the day!

    P.S. - I LOVE your house. It is very hadsome. I agree with the boxwood idea. I also love tall grasses for a contemporary setting, but not sure about them in your area. Boxwoods are vergreen too, so pretty year round.

    As I am half French, on Memorial Day, my heart goes to the many soldiers who gave their lives to free France back in 1944-5...

    mary-laure,
    we went to normandy and my mother-in-law said in her lovely dutch accent, "Those poor boys had to get off the boat and fight in wet boots" spoken like a true mother.
