Introducing....
We knew when we launched this set that we wanted to use it to honor the men and women who serve and have given their lives for the freedom of our country. As many military men and women will tell you -- Freedom is not free. In times of war, soldiers come home wounded and are in need of a helping hand in life. Having deep ties to our country's military, Flourishes wanted to be a part of the solution. If you didn't know this, all three of the Flourishes' husbands are retired military. Jan Marie has a grandson that is currently headed overseas to Afghanistan for a second tour of duty. That's why we are honoring this fine organization....
Flourishes will proudly donate a portion of the proceeds of our brand new Patriotism on Parade set to the Wounded Warrior Project. It's a non-profit organization who's mission is to honor and empower wounded warriors. We believe wholeheartedly in the work they do. They have training programs to help wounded soldiers transition into the workforce. They have caregiver training focusing on PTSD. They have support groups and rehabilitative retreats that they fund. They are going above and beyond to help the men and women that went above and beyond to protect and serve. We can't wait to give back to this one of a kind charity!We hope you make time to see how our design team put this whimsical and patriotic set to use! Please stop by and visit....

ReplyDeleteWow that was tricky. You said to post a comment on the newsletter so I went looking just for that and didn't realize that the blog was the newsletter until I clicked on comments and saw the title flourishes newsletter. WeW that's my mouse & click exercise for the night :D
ReplyDeleteTotally love this new set. Reminds me of the small town parades of all the tiny towns I've lived in over the years. And perfect for those of us that love that silhouette look!
Wonderful too that you are supporting the work of Wounded Warriors. Thanks from all of us for showing us what a stamp company with a heart really looks like!

Of course, would love to win the stamp set but more importantly is the cause you are putting forth for all of us to consider. Wounded Warriors is just the best you could have chosen and your timing is perfect. Marines out of Iraw by 2010? Not soon enough for the hundreds of wounded and brain injuured already here fighting for their way of life. Way to go ladies!

Very cool set and you chose an amazing organization to support!
ReplyDeleteWow! I love this set and the wonderful organization you are contributing too.
ReplyDeleteWhat images to add to Class Reunion festivities under freedom's banner! I'd love to set up a table for schoolwide visitors could make a soldier card. Some cards would undoubtedly reflect the monsterous fireworks local pyros display set to patriotic music for over forty minutes. Each day of our community's 100th birthday celebration kicks off with cowboy breakfast and a mile plus Independence day parade led by local veterans proudly limping, wheeling, and walking with USA, MT, and school colors full sail in the morning breeze(we hope no gale). What a winning set Patriotism on Parade will be for this freedom celebration! appreciation for our current and past troops plus whole community thankfulness. Did I mention that our ninety year young uncle and one hundred four year witty aunt (one from either side of the family) will be actively in each day's parade?!
ReplyDeleteKeep Looking UP!

A wonderful organization to make donations to! And I love this set. It will be so nice for many occasions.
ReplyDeletekamccoy@sbcglobal.net
This set looks fabulous; I'm so in love with that bunting!
ReplyDeleteWow! This set just looks incredible! My DH is Army and we're stationed at Scott AFB (IL) and some of the wounded warriors travel through here on their way to other medical care or going home. DH always considers it an honor to go shake hands with them. Thank you for giving back to our warriors!!
ReplyDeleteWow - this set is absolutely wonderful. My husband is a US Marine, so the wounded warrior program is especially near and dear to our hearts - thanks you for supporting this worthy organization. I will be getting this set one way or the other for sure!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful, patriotic set! Perfect for the 4th, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, Flag Day... It's hard to find such a versatile set!
ReplyDeleteMy son (who has autism) is quite the patriot. He LOVES the flag.
ReplyDeleteWith very limited speech, he can say the pledge and can't start his day at school without it. Love this set!

This new set speaks to me - I have to have it!! I served 24 years in the military, had long periods of time away from home and often in a war zone - the most recent being a year in Iraq!! I just recently retired but my son is now heading into his third year at the Naval Academy as a Marine-option midshipman! I am proud of serving my country and I LOVE that you are honoring our patriots with this fabulous set!!! What a great organization too - thanks Flourishes!! *STAMPIN HUGS* Alex
ReplyDeleteI am very patriotic due to the influence of my mother. I would love to have this set to make her a card to thank her for all she taught me. The design team did a great job on their cards!
