We got the navy blue 3" x 6" pillar candles,  delivered within 3 days of ordering - they lived up to their company name - Quick Candles.

Rusell,

Finding ways to honor our guys is never "off-subject" for any of us!  I suspect a lot of the chatter you've seen on the Mom's site has involved my wife.  We've been a "blue candle family" since our oldest joined the Navy in late-2008, and have continued as our youngest joined in mid-2010.  Especially now that both have realized their dreams of becoming SEALs, we burn a candle and say prayers for our sons at every evening meal.  As a Catholic family, lighting candles to honor those we love is "in our bones."  But no matter anyone's religious or non-religious inspiration to do so -- we see this as a great patriotic way of "keeping the home fires burning" for our guys in uniform.  Just about any local religious-supply store would have devotional candles.  Because blue candles are hard to find, we actually have a white candle placed inside a glass Navy Blue votive.

As we celebrate July 4th -- may God continue to bless our nation, all our families, and all our guys.

HOO YAH!

May be off-subject, but on the NfM site, one of the recurring comments is about burning blue candles, in addition to alot of prayers for the guys. Not being able to do much of anything for our son - we have been burning a blue candle every evening when home, as a visual reminder of our thoughts and prayers not only for our son, but for all the guys -  BC, BUDs, SEALs & others that are serving our Country.  The irony was that here near the Naval Academy, it was a challange to find navy blue candles.  I found a source on-line that has nice candles, relatively cheap.  While I'm not superstitious, or a bible thumper, there is some small comfort in that flame.  I'm sure this Indepence Day will hold special meaning for the parents, spouses, family & friends of all of our guys. God bless all of them, and keep them safe.

HooYah!!!
