When it’s time to retire from the military, it is also a time to celebrate a career. Today, increasing military member s are serving 25 years or even more, depending on rank or the branch of service they are employed. Military members who have spent long years, mostly away from their families, to defend the nation in combats or in other form of military service, deserve recognition.

Time to express gratitude…

Many soldiers die right in front of the combat line. Many survived and at times, continue to elope death to protect people they don’t know while leaving their own families at home praying that they will soon come home. Military men who served until their twilight age are the ones who have successfully withstood the dangers and challenges of being a soldier. Now that they have chosen to retire, it is time to express thankfulness.

Time to give gifts…

One of the most common gifts for military retirees is a military plaque. Military plaques are great gifts, especially from a group. Opt for a custom-made plaque for you can include a picture of the retiree or the insignia of the unit they served in. Usually, the retiree’s name, rank and dates of service should be included. A slogan or a meaningful saying familiar to the unit will make a good addition to the plaque detail too.

Military plaques will surely make an impact and undoubtedly occupy a place of honor in the retiree’s home or office, as well as serve as a special piece of memorabilia in his or her family’s heirlooms. To make the military plaque extra special, it normally requires a bit of thinking making sure the gift fits the retiree well.

Personalizing military plaques will immortalize their career. A solid and durable make will pose as a visual reminder of bravery and heroism. A great retirement plaque truly showcases the service of the retiree. Tell them that they will be missed no matter how long they have been in service. For serving the military is synonymous to sacrifice and dedication.

  • The sugar mill – to represent St. Croix, which was the center of agricultural productivity of the island’s history.
  • The Legislative Building of St.Thomas- to embody the seat of government and capital of the United States Virgin Islands.
  • The Annaberg Ruins- to represent St.John, this represents the island’s role on the production of sugar and the slave uprising.
  • Two Flags – the Dannaberg Flag and United States Flag, which shows the transfer of Islands from Denmark to the United States.
  • Boat in the harbor- represents the importance of the islands in the interstate and international commerce.
  • Yellow Breast bird perched in the Yellow Cedar- the island’s national bird and the island’s national flower.
  • The motto inscribed “United in Pride and Hope” – to show harmony in the islands despite different backgrounds of the settlers or natives which enabled them to form one united community.
