Memorial Day Table

Memorial Day is a day set aside to remember those who died while in the military service of our country. Pat wanted to set the tone of the table to match the meaning of the holiday - solemn and with respect and gratitude.

The table was set in a traditional red, white, and blue color theme.

Pat used tiny square condiments holders to raise the napkin slightly on the plate.

Here's the napkin - unfolded - it took a little "work" to get only the stars to show. A big thank you to Pat's husband who managed to do it.
