They talk through reframing holiday expectations, using gentle traditions, and finding small joys in the middle of grief or change. Amy shares the weight of loving someone who’s often away. Jenny offers deep insight into loneliness as “data,” and Tina brings her warmth and wisdom about creating simple moments that matter more than any perfect Pinterest holiday.

  • 30. The Flag That Found Its Way Home

    43:46||Season 1, Ep. 30
    Some stories are too powerful to be coincidence. This one was written by God Himself.In this unforgettable episode of The Unicorn Projects, Jenny, Tina, and Amy share the extraordinary story of a tattered Vietnam battle flag, brought home from Hamburger Hill and hidden away for decades. When Jenny, a Navy veteran and former combat medic, was called to help settle the estate of a woman she barely knew, she had no idea that God was leading her toward a moment that would change her life.Inside a dusty box labeled “Vietnam stuff” lay a bullet-torn, burned flag once carried by another medic on the front lines of one of the bloodiest battles of the war. As Jenny lifted it from the box, standing beside Tina’s father, a Vietnam veteran himself, both were overcome with emotion. It was more than a relic. It was a message.Jenny soon realized this flag wasn’t just meant to be found. It was meant for her. It was God’s way of helping her heal the lingering wounds of her own military trauma, connecting her with other veterans, and reminding her that every act of service, every scar, and every sacrifice matters in the eyes of heaven.As Veterans Day approaches, this story honors the brave souls who carried that flag through fire, those who never made it home, and those like Jenny who continue to carry their memory. It is a powerful testament to faith, purpose, and the quiet ways God works to bring healing and hope when we least expect it.✨ Visit theunicornprojects.com📞 Call in your questions: 844-605-LIFE📧 Email your questions: info@theunicornprojects.comWelcome to The Unicorn Projects—where courage, creativity, and connection create something truly magical.
