BBTB2 challenge - September 11th

Hey All!

I'm here with this weeks challenge over at the BBTB2 challenge blog. Brenda has tasked us all with making a card in memory of 9/11 or to honor and remember our service members. Its hard to believe that 9/11 happened so long ago. I'm sure you all remember exactly where you were when it happened. I was in London on vacation with my family and we were visiting Westminster Abbey when a monk approached us with the news that an airplane had hit one of the twin towers. It was amazing to be in another country and see Europe's reaction to the diseaster. The next day at the changing of the guard at Buckingham palace, they played the "Oh Say Can You See" and "Stars and Stripes Forever" in tribute. The most amazing story was when we met an elderly French doctor on the train to Paris who told us that he was there the day that the American's liberated the concentration camps....he was a Jew and had a 7 digit number tattooed on his arm.

 My project today is another simple one meant to honor and remember the heroes who laid down their lives for others. I would really encourage you to make a project for this challenge, maybe you know someone who lives to serve our country who you could give it to.
I used some digital papers and a cut from the Cricut "A Child's Year" cartridge to make this card.
