"The Etsy Homefront Team is made up of over 100 shops, all owned by spouses and significant others of members of the uniformed services. We are male and female, of all ages and several different nationalities and are located, quite literally, worldwide!
Our one common thread is that we are personally involved in supporting our countries on a day-in, day-out basis. Without prejudice, or regard for religion, race, nationality or political views, we keep the homefires burning and our families together, no matter how far apart we are."

I guess you could say I have been around military all my life through my family.
My Dad served under Patton in WWII, he will tell you stories all the time.
My Eldest brother (1 of 5) is a Marine served during Vietnam and beyond almost 20 years.
My Second brother (2 of 5) was in the Navy on the USS Oriskany during Vietnam.
My Little Sister (4 of 5) was in the Air Force in the late 70's and early 80's. She was an electrical tech on B-52's.
And the baby brother was born the same afternoon my Eldest brother was a plane to his station in Vietnam.
Just a note my shop is called: 'designsbyred3of 5' there is a story behind that name choice.
First, I am the middle child, 2 older brothers, a younger sister and a younger brother giving me distinction of being 3 of 5. Yes we are a family of Star Trek fans.
Second, my initials growing up spelled RED. My older brothers tormented me with that, but my sisters initials spelled MAD.
We should thank all those who served for our freedom... to write.
And blog!
I will get off the soap box now.
The past is always part of our future.
Thank a solider and their family.
