I decided to try and make Military Monday something relateable to my site. So I thought patriotic, or red, white and blue cupcakes would be an interesting idea. Each week it’ll be a different cupcake, and they won’t be made by me. I’ll find them on the internet and give credit where its due. If I can’t find a cupcake or pastry, then I’ll do patriotic food, etc. If you have any that you’d like me to share, I’ll be happy to. Simply send me an e·mail with your patriotic sweets or treats and I’ll gladly post them on a future Military Monday post.

So again, today on Military Monday, I ask you all to remember those serving our country in Iraq/Afghanistan/etc and also, those who’ve died doing so. I’ll take a tip from Yoyo and list some each week.
