As many Americans dust off their summer patio furniture, pull out their trusty grills, tame their out of control yards, and gear up for a guarenteed weekend of food and fun, still others are remembering loved ones lost, dreams deferred, and the lives of those who stood on the frontlines and so bravely defended what they believed in til the end. From traditional trips to memorial sites to honor fallen hero’s and mourn the loss of life, to the gathering of friends and family to celebrate life and the beginning of the summer season, all weekend long it seems wherever you turn, there are flags waving at half staff, parades, picnics, poppy donations, and reminders of what makes America the land of the free and the home of the brave.
This year more than any, as families across the nation struggle through an ongoing recession, the uncertainties of a quiet war still raging, and soldiers still being deployed at a faster rate then they are at coming back home, the urge to strengthen our communities and connect with family and friends is on the minds and hearts of many. In remembrance of all our fallen soldiers, and in honor of our Memorial Day traditions, J&O Fabrics offers a plethora of patriotic and summer themed prints to celebrate and remember with. From Timeless Treasure, Michael Miller and Kaufman, to Fabric Traditions, Covington and Spectrix, there is something for every crafter right between the walls of our online store.
