“To Honor the Fallen”

Description from Granny Nancy: I know that traditional colors of honor are red, white and blue. But that's too easy to create. I worked on this a while not knowing why and then it occurred to me how I'd heard about the hundreds of thousands that gave the ultimate sacrifice in WW2 alone. Just think about those from the beginning of our fight for a free and democratic country.
While those I chose of crazy lace & azurite, there are plenty others of same stones available from LB.
