Commemorating the Anniversary of the D-Day Invasion

With 156,000 American, Canadian and British troops landing on five beaches along the coast, this was one of the largest seaborne invasions in history. The battle lasted until August 1944, and contributed to the Allied victory over Nazi Germany. German casualties were estimated as 4,000 – 9,000 on D-Day, while the Allied casualties were 10,000, with 4,114 confirmed dead. The Normandy landings were considered the beginning of the end of the war in Europe.

Each year D-Day, June 6, is observed in the U.S. as well as other countries in Europe in memory of the Normandy landings in France.

The service emblem is above the dial, while a personal monogram and five birthstones are below the dial. The adjustable two-tone bracelet is decorated with 23 karat gold.

Custom crafted in the U.S., the Military War Veteran Service Ring features a 10 karat gold military service emblem mounted on a brilliant capstone. The sides of the ring are sculptures of the World War II War Service Medal and Ribbons and the War Memorial. The body of the ring is solid sterling silver and is detailed in genuine 24 karat antiqued gold.

The MA-1 “Bravo” Jacket is inspired by the historic MA-1 Fighter Pilot Jacket.

Up until the 20th century, the use of service animals in the military had proven to be very effective. However, during World War I, horses were very ineffective against the enemy due to the use of barbed wire fences and machine guns.

A Historical Look at Military Service Animals: Part One

To some, the use of animals in the military is controversial, to others the use of animals in the military is highly welcomed and advantageous. Either way, there is no denying the fact that many of these animals faced great danger while protecting and serving their country. They deserve to be recognized for their service and sacrifice as our military service men and women do. Although the use of animals in the military is unappealing to some, it is in some cases necessary in order to save human lives. Here is a look at how animals have served in the military throughout the years.

Military Therapy Dogs: A Military Vet’s Best Friend

Each year, hundreds of thousands of military service personnel return home from deployment, expecting to readjust to normal life. Some of these returning active and retired military workers are diagnosed with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).

Deployment and Reintegration

Out of the hundreds of thousands of military personnel that were or are currently deployed overseas, at least half of them have families back home. Many of those families have children and pets. Although deployments are a fact of life for those who choose to serve in the military, deployments result in the separation of families for extended periods of time.

Deployments are single or repeated events that put an increasing amount pressure and stress on family structure and cohesion. Although deployments are hard on the military personnel who are sent to other areas of the world, the consequences are far-reaching and very unsettling on military families as well.

Remembering Military Families On Veterans Day

Veterans Day is an important day to every American. This is a special day set aside to remember the service of military personnel and the sacrifices that each one has made. These sacrifices benefit everyone and so it is everyone’s responsibility and patriotic duty to reflect on the importance of the work done by the veterans of today and yesterday. Veterans do not serve independently, however. They are supported by a host of family members back home.Remembering Military Families On Veterans Day
