PARTY IDEAS

No matter where they are....

No matter what they are doing...

All you really know for sure is that you miss them!

Here are some suggestions to make it really special!

Your soldier, marine, coastie, airman, guardsman and sailor have missed a lot since they've been away, and probably at the top of the list are their favorite foods! Be sure to serve all their favorites or keep it simple with an All-American theme -- hot dogs hamburgers, mac 'n cheese, American Chop Suey, and of course, lots of apple pie!

If they turned another year older "over there" surprise them with a small birthday cake with everyone singing "Happy Birthday". It might seem a little silly, but it is guaranteed to put a smile on everone's faces!

If Christmas is something that you normally celebrate but had to do it without them last time, why not bring out the holiday theme again for the party? If you have an artificial tree, drag it down from the attic and decorate it in red, white and blue! Adding American flags and topping it with one of their covers will show what the celebration is all about!

One of the simplest things to do, but a real crowd pleaser, is to take down your normally displayed artwork and hang instead the jacket from their dress uniform and their fatigue jacket as well. It honors them in a fun, yet respectful, way.

Of course, once they see our exclusive logo design on our dessert plates, they will have no doubt the love and pride you feel for their patriotism and service to our great country. Make sure you stock up on our party supplies!
