Showing your pride the dignified way
February 13th, 2009
The history of America’s fighting forces is a testament to the power of freedom. In every war fought to preserve the very values this country stands for, America’s military has always answered the call, even when it’s been unpopular to do so. From the fields of Gettysburg to the sands of Iwo Jima, from the icy waters of the Potomac to the blistering hot deserts of Iraq and Afghanistan, America’s armed forces have always answered duty’s call bravely, never faltering in their will to protect our freedoms.
As members of the military, we represent more than ourselves. We are part of that history, that legacy that has made this country the promised land of freedom it was always meant to be. When we wear the uniform, we wear it with the pride of Old Glory, a tribute to the legacy of America’s bravest. In the community, in church, in the high school gymnasium, we represent the brave men and women who gave their lives every time we don the uniform. By representing such a strong fighting force, our official military attire should suggest a level of success and elegance. Highlight the prestige of your formal uniform with is a proud display of the medals of America.
In these troubled times, American citizens need to be able to look to the military uniform for a sense of confidence and pride, a sense that America will overcome the darkness and live in the light. What better way to instill this sense of patriotic zeal than a proud display of the medals of America for every formal event you attend, whether it be your niece’s wedding, a visit to an elementary classroom, or a morning religious service of your choice.
In uniform, you represent America’s elite fighting forces, an important symbol to the freedoms of every American citizen. A fine display of ribbons and medals add color and dignity to your formal military attire every time you interact with the community. These are the people you are fighting for. Let them know you are honored to protect them with a dignified display of ribbons. Always look your best. Be proud of the service you are giving your country.
