Army Men "Footlocker"

Do your boys like to play "Army Men?" My son went through a phase of being totally fascinated with anything military - tanks, airplanes and soldiers.  I created the "Army Footlocker" chest with his collection in mind.  I think he kept his "guys" in a showbox, but he would have been very happy with a storage option like this!  As we approach Memorial Day, and remember the men and women who have served our great nation, why not celebrate their service in your scrapbooks and paper crafting?  Creative Imaginations has collections for each brand of our Armed Services:  Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines, and Navy.  I would like to thank our servicemen and women past and present and their familes for all they have done to keep our country safe.  God bless the USA!
