POW MIA bubble letters
POW MIA prints the six capitals on one line. POW stands for prisoner of war and MIA for missing in action. Their flag is white on black: leave the letters white and color the paper round them black. POW MIA / You Are Not / Forgotten adds the flag's own line.
The six branches and a welcome home
US law names six armed forces: Army, Marine / Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space / Force and Coast / Guard. National / Guard, Active / Duty and Veteran say how someone serves or served. A homecoming or a thank-you wall takes Welcome / Home / Soldier, Thank You / for Your / Service, Support / Our / Troops, Home / of the / Brave, Military / Family, Care / Package and Salute; Armed / Forces / Day and Military / Appreciation head a May display.
- Navy and Army print about one and a half times as tall as Military.
- Military / Family prints Military at the size of the word alone: Family is the narrower line.
- One letter per page, under More options, prints Military as eight upright sheets in seven shapes, since the i comes twice.
