Ship, Captain & Crew
A medal is a badge of honor, an example of valor, courage and bravery. If you are currently in the Naval or have served in the past, wearing a Navy medal shows your pride in service of protection of this great nation. More than a commendation to a single person, a Navy medal represents the sacrifices of many, a tribute to those who have lay down their lives defending our most precious freedoms.
As tributes to those who served America, medals also serve as symbolic pieces of history, precious icons of the glorious past of America’s armed forces in their struggles to preserve the life we hold dear. A World War II Victory Medal is a testament to America’s struggle against evil, a tribute to the struggles this great nation endured delivering the world from tyranny. A Vietnam Service Medal reminds us all that those who fell shall never be forgotten; indeed, they’ll be remembered and honored with the dignity they deserve. An Iraq Campaign Medal or an Afghanistan Campaign Medal serves as bold remembrances of those who continually lay down their lives in today’s struggles for freedom.
Let that history live in its honorary place on your own Naval uniform whenever you wear it with pride. Medals add prestige and glory to the honor of wearing a US armed services uniform, shining like gold medallions to be respected and treasured. ‘
Unlike antique medals, medals made today are conveniently light, giving your uniform that same glorified shine without weighing it down. Another major advantage to brand new medals is the mounting options. They can conveniently be attached to the uniform with simple magnets, so you don’t need to puncture or damage the thread of the uniform. Using the traditional pins can cause extra wear to the uniform, tearing threads and fabric that deteriorates faster over time.
To proudly wear a medal, it deserves to be polished. A polished medal suggests a drive to succeed, an eye for perfection in the name of service. It shows you put pride and honor into every facet of your appearance, right down to the proud glimmer your medal displays.
Wear your medals proudly, not so much as a matter of self-recognition, but as a tribute to those who have fallen for the freedoms we all hold so very dear. Bestow the pride that service to this country deserves with medals that honor the sacrifices of so many.
