"Reflect on the past"
I sent this to my husbands father who was in the Marines during two wars. It has meant so much for him. In spite of living the wars, he also is proud of what he did and what he is now.

"Clever design that looks even better in person"
Somehow the picture doesnt convey to me quite how precarious the hummingbird looks in real life and yet how solid it actually is. It also looks extremely cool.
