Military Welcome Home Sign

This sign is ideal for welcoming military personnel home, whether you are greeting a loved one or celebrating troops arriving at your local airport. The background features a yellow support ribbon against an American flag with the words “Support Our Troops.” When you open this template, the page background may appear extremely faint. This is because it has been added as a watermark. When you preview the page before printing or print the page, you will see that it is clear and visible.

In the foreground, there are two WordArt images. One states, “Welcome Home! We Love You!” in a half circle bending at the top of the page. Another image simply says, “Name.” Double-click this image to edit it and enter the name of your family member or friend. If you are welcoming troops in general, you can change this to something else or simply delete it altogether.

Welcome Baby Sign

In addition, there are two clipart images on the left side of the sign. Each image features a baby, one with the words, “It’s a girl” and the other with, “It’s a boy.” Simply click on the one that you do not want to use and press Delete to remove it. You can resize the one you wish to use by clicking on one corner of the image and dragging it to the size of your choice.
