Troop Card #3--Buy A Soldier A Cup Of Coffee

Here's another version of Team Canada from High Hopes Stamps!! This card will be going to a soldier in Kandahar with a little something inside...a Tim Horton's gift card. On July 1st, 2006 (Canada Day) Tim Horton's opened its doors at Kandahar Air Field--home to about 2200 military personnel from Canada and abroad. For those of you who don't know, Timmie's is a Canadian institution, household word and source of many 1000's of Canadians morning java. It's also a taste of home for the men and women who spend long periods away from loved ones as they bravely serve in Afghanistan.

I personally love their chocolate dipped doughnuts and the hot apple cider :)--Not exactly weight loss food...

For this card I thought if might be nice to buy a soldier a cup of coffee long distance so I made it with an inside pocket that could hold the gift card...Here's the front of the card...

And the inside...
