Oh my! I'm so sorry to hear that, ccross132!
Everything happens for a reason. It'll all work itself out.
The ribbon are to wear to PIR and can also be worn to the Meet and Greet. They are a really good way to recognize other N4M members but they are also a wonderful way to show your support for your Sailor. They have their name on one side and div number on the other with an anchor and stars on them. They also make a great keepsake and can be put in a frame or scrapbook. Here are a couple pics of what they look like and you can see more pics on my page or if you have facebook you can look at my facebook page: Unique Memory Makers. Everyone who goes to my facebook page and "LIKES" the page will be entered into a drawing for a bundle pack of free navy scrapbook embellishments. For more info or to place an order just send me a friend request on here or send me an email to: uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com
Hi Ladies, I got a call from mine. It was so nice to hear his voice. It was weird because I was on the other line talking to his dad about missing him so much amd then the other line buzzed in and I had a feeling it was him. And Thank God, it was! He is doing good,having fun. We did a couple of 3 way calls and everyone got to say HI.. If you have the time I would recommend the 3 way calling. It meant so much to all of us..Of course we had to take turns talking but it all turned out great!
Have a great day!
