There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends.
John 15:13 (NLT)
In honor of all of those who have served or are serving, I put together a table this past weekend.
Since I only had a small amount of time to spend on it, it's pretty simple, but it's my little tribute to those who have served & sacrificed for you & me.
{As you might can tell, it was a pretty windy day!}
A stars & stripes tablecloth sets the mood......
......while a stack of mixed & matched red, white, & blue dinnerware continue the theme.
A silver charger is topped with square blue & white plates {one turned diagonally to give it a little more interest} & round red plates, alternating back & forth .
The notched edge of the red plates adds to the nautical feel, while the blue plates, peeking out, add some interest.
A white boat bowl with blue trim finishes it off......paying tribute to the Coast Guard & Navy.
A mason jar {which can later be used for an ice-cold beverage on this hot, windy day} is filled with a red, white, & blue plaid napkin, red & blue flatware, a red & white striped straw, & of course, the American flag.
{Just a little tip: The napkins are actually tea towels! I often use tea towels for napkins when I can't find the right color/design of napkins.}
Two silver airplanes act as a centerpiece........honoring the Air Force {including my sweet dad, who retired from the Air Force Reserves in April}.
Thank you to all who have served our country.......
......and especially to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.......
......for our freedom!
God bless you all!
And God bless the USA!
