Description
Fireworks bloom over the harbor, red, white and blue, and the whole town gasps at once. On a blanket by the water, a young woman holds her husband’s hand tightly; he came home from deployment only two days ago, still a little sunburned, still not quite used to the quiet. Their daughter sits between them waving a paper flag, sticky with watermelon. Nobody says much. Nobody needs to. It is the best Fourth of July they have ever had.
This heart is for moments like that, when love of country and love of family feel like the same thing. Give it to a service member coming home, to a military spouse who held everything together, or to a veteran on Memorial Day or Veterans Day. It is also a fine gift for a new citizen after a naturalization ceremony. Display it on a mantel beside a folded flag, on a desk at the office, or on a dresser to hold dog tags or a wedding band.

A heartfelt welcome-home present, or a quiet thank-you to someone who served. It also looks wonderful among the bunting and candles on a July table.
