Happy 4th of July. This small plaque is only six inches in diameter. The perfect size to sit on your desk or side table. The top two layers are 1/4" thick and the backer board is cut from 1/8" to keep the thickness down. You can use 1/4 for all layers if that is all you have. It will look fine. I also included the stand in the pattern. If you don't plan to cut the plaque, you might want to download the pattern for the stand. It may come in handy.
I hope everyone is having a safe 4th of July. Be careful out there. Celebrations might be a bit smaller this year but the reasons we celebrate the 4th are still just as important.
Harry S. Truman said, "America was built on courage, on imagination and an unbeatable determination". Today we need just as much courage, imagination, and determination as our founding fathers showed. We need the courage to stand for what is right. We need the imagination to see a better tomorrow. We need the determination not to accept anything but a better tomorrow.
There are a lot of opinions out there on what is right and what a better tomorrow looks like. It is easy to give up and think the United States is in decline. I don't believe that for one minute. The courage, imagination, and determination are still there. Throughout our history, when times were tough, Americans embraced all of the qualities that Harry S. Truman knew were so important for that better tomorrow.
There is a better tomorrow ahead. God Bless America.
