When our nephew left for Afghanistan he wrote and told me he missed hearing the Stars and Stripes windchimes I made for his family.
Sooooo, I made another set and mailed it to him. He hung it outside his CP. Over the 1 year deployment, the wind did a number on the windchimes. Half the paint was chipped away.
When he returned last summer, he brought back the chimes and gave them back to me.
Rather than re-painting them, I hung them in front of our house, chipped paint and all. It’s a constant reminder of what our troops face each and every day serving our country.
May God bless and protect each one.
tears... where can I get those???
never even heard of them before...forgive me
