#BeTheChange and support our brave soldiers! This free printable tag is a gentle reminder to show love and appreciation, as these heroes sacrifice so much for us every day.
“Please take this soldier home and place it somewhere that will remind you to pray for our men and women serving our country.”
If you are new around here, a “fun” fact about me is that I’m a military spouse. More specifically, an Air Force spouse and my husband has been serving for 18 years now. It’s what brought us to sunny Florida, at the moment 🙂
So you can imagine, anything military related really tugs at my heart.
I have seen these “take this soldier home to remind you” basket signs before {in restaurants and most recently at the local auto repair shop} and it sparked me to make my own version to share with you all. I had a gift tag in mind when I was brainstorming and here it is today!

Show your support for our troops! Print out this #EveryDayReminder and post it in a place you’ll see often – a daily reminder to keep those who serve close to our hearts.
The reason why I had a gift tag in mind is because I was thinking people could hand these out for the upcoming Veteran’s Day holiday.
The “take this soldier home” versions I have seen in person and on Pinterest in the past, have been a basket full of plastic soldiers with a attention-grabbing sign near it, stating to grab one and take it home.
Although I LOVE this version {I really do!} I “think” if you make a few little trinket bags to hand out in person, it will be well received as well. Especially if you don’t have a good place to set up “said” basket for all to see but you still want to get the message out.
So whether you are attending and/or planning an event on Veteran’s Day {November 11th} or you just want to give these little reminders away at a random moments throughout the year, I hope our “take a soldier” printable gift tag idea comes in handy for you.
I guess I should also add, this idea is not just for Veteran’s Day either – every day is a good day to remember our troops!
