I got this idea this afternoon and when I was making it actually got teary-eyed because it was exactly as I had envisioned. I'm planning on sending one to friends and family who have loved ones serving in the Military... I'm hoping to attach a tag that says something like, "Light in gratitude for the sacrafices and strength of our Armed Forces."

A very precious gift! When they burn the candle, it'll help give them hope for their loved ones to find their way home again. They'll appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Wonderful idea! Sometimes families feel forgotten, this will be a great lift to them. How big are the candles?

This is the best candle. I have this stamp set coming in the mail as I type this. My son is in the Army and had 2 tours of duty over in Iraq. Will be going back for a 3rd. in a few months. I pray for all our soldiers.
