In Appreciation For Those That Serve.....

Scrap-N-Stamp has always been a strong supporter of those men and women who serve in uniform...both past and present. With Memorial Day right around the corner, I thought I would post a few pictures from Sommer and Lisa who you may see behind the counter at Scrap-N-Stamp.

Sommer was an Army helicopter pilot who served in several war zones.....hard to believe! I wonder if she thought about scrapbooking while she was zooming along in her helicopter? Here is a picture of her in Iraq....


Sommer's husband, Deniz....also served in Iraq and is still "on call". Sommer has gone from being in charge of an entire "crew" on board her helicopter to making cards and sorting paper at the store!! The next time you're in the store, stop and chat with Sommer at the "bar" and she'll tell you all her war stories....

We are also fortunate to have Lisa at Scrap-N-Stamp. Lisa's husband, Sean is an active duty Naval helicopter pilot. Lisa and her family had the opportunity to get up and close to the Blue Angels at the Capitol Air Show. Her daughter's Flat Stanley got to even go for a ride in the lead jet.....how many Flat Stanley's have had their picture taken with the Blue Angels?! We know of at least one!!



Let's try to take a moment out of each day to thank those that serve. We are honored to have Sommer and Lisa, and their families, as part of our Scrap-N-Stamp family. We hope all the men and women overseas will have the opportunity to come home and continue on with their dreams....if it should be working at a Scrapbook shop or hangin' with the Angels, we wish them good health and a happy, peaceful life.....
