To HONOR my Heroes...I needed a Subway art design for a workshop, so I did this one for my DH who is a 31 year retired police officer and my military family members to Honor and thank them for their service on this Memorial Day week-end here in the USA...I think this turned our really well...and I am so grateful for all of the Heroes who put their lives on the line every day for our freedom...I have blocked out the name for their privacy...I hope you like it as much as I do.

OH.MY.GOSH! This is absolutely beautiful! I would love to have this design. Are you going to sell it? My hubby also is a retired 26 year Master Sgt Sheriff's Deputy, as well as a Navy veteran. I would so love to present this to him for his wall. Absolutely PERFECT! Thank you for sharing. And thanks to all of your family for their service.

Good job Kim and I'm so thankful too for all of our community personnel who give their lives for our freedom.

I was so sad to hear that one of your firefighters lost his life today. May all of our servicemen and women know how much we appreciate them. Love Chris

Thank your husband, from me, for his service. I have a nephew and cousin, retired policeman and detective. My dad, husband, BIL, nephews, and uncle all served in military, uncle paying the ultimate price for us. Scarified his life, but his actions saved his men, and he was awarded (my grand-parents)the Purple Heart, after his death...How can we not remember those who gave all...Thank you for remembering and I am sure whoever this goes to, will be proud that you care.

Really great...and I found myself saying, "Amen." In Texas, we are still under flashflooding alert and in Oklahoma a firefighter lost his life today trying to help rescue flood victims. I'm thankful for so many people who take care of others. Your embroidery is meaningful for many reasons and blessings.
