This is my LO for #7/52 Scrapbooking Challenges (artistic photo). Sorry it scanned a little dark. The picture flips up for the journaling.

The Soldier's Life
The soldier's life is not for all
A soldier must be willing to give his all
He is overworked and underpaid
A truer patriot was never made
Ready to go at anytime
Wherever there is trouble or the first sign
His courage and honor are unsurpassed
Ready and willing to complete the task
Travelling to lands both near and far
He stands his post and looks at the stars
Wondering what he might have done
If he had not chosen to carry a gun
Remember the next time that you are driving by
And see the FLAG flying proud and high
That somewhere out there a soldier stands
Weary and cold in a foreign land
Protecting our country from our foes
Standing tall and proud come rain or snow.
(poem by Ssgt Scott E. Hilligoss found here in the library)

My chicken scratch reads: "This local storage shelter bears the image of the highest form of freedom... the American flag. It is in the flight path of local military planes carrying our soldiers to various places. The pilots honor this flag by tilting their wings in flight, saluting it. I'm glad that patriotism in my town not only runs strong, but deep."

Products used:

Many thanks to AmandaO for encouragement and help on this LO! I knew I wanted to do b&w and keep the focus on the picture, but I completed struggled with paper choices in the beginning! Holla.... Frank! My sweet hubby altered the photo for me. Thanks babe!
