Well, I'm not a Mom... (Wife) But I'm happy to help. 1st, the blue candle is to light while your recruit is doing battle stations. It's just a symbol that you are thinking of them and praying for them during that time. As far as ribbons, they are made by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons you can message her for details. They are ribbons that have your recruits name and division on them for you to wear to PIR to show who you are there to claim! Let us know if you have any other questions!! ;o)

Ribbons? Blue Candles? Confused and lost! Can anyone give me a heads up on these? My older son graduated from Marine bootcamp last August, and I had more time to prepare; this summer has been crazy. Sure could use some info! Thanks Moms!!!
