Friend With Flair, Veteran's Day, A Sketch, and a Challenge All In One

I'm not sure how to greet on Veteran's Day, so I will just say Veteran's Day.  Today is always a day filled with thoughts and is often tough in my house.  My husband is a 2 tour veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom.  And those tours have come with many personal sacrifices for him.  I don't say that to make people feel bad, or to make this somber, but today is a hard day as it is a day of remembrance for those who have given their life, limbs, and bodies to serve and protect.  In light of that, I wanted to make a nice little card for my dear soldier.  But as I love to double dip as much as possible, I incorporated several challenges and the theme of Friends With Flair!  My sources of inspiration and guidance were:
1. Scrapjazz.com card challenge was to make a window card that had a stamped image, with texture
2. Friends with Flair = Unity Stamps
3.  Sketch Challenge from Card Patterns Sketch #140
4.  And my personal inspiration, must be Red White and Blue

Hope you enjoy and take a moment to remember and acknowledge those that work so hard and give their lives to the enjoyments we have!
