Hi Friends, I'm am the Navy Mom who makes ribbons and many other items you have heard about. The ribbons are to wear to PIR (and Meet and Greet). They are a great way to show how proud you are of your sailor and also a great way to recognize other members of N4M's. Most divisions order the Navy colored ribbons with gold or silver letters. They are not too frilly so they are suitable for men as well. The 800 divisions usually order black with gold letters. If you want ribbons make sure you order them at least a week before you leave for PIR so you get them on time. I can do overnight shipping but it is about $18.00 so it is best to order early. I take checks, money orders and PayPal. Send me a friend request and I will send you the info for ordering the ribbons. You can see sample pics of the ribbons and many of the other items I make here on my page or you can visit my facebook page and my website.Check out My Face Book page: Unique Memory Makers, be sure and "like" my page. You can also get to my facebook page through a link on my website.

Our Navy Journey:
I have a daughter who joined the Navy in April 2010, she had PIR in July, and was on a chartered flight to Pensacola. She was in the performing division at boot camp and was in the choir. She got engaged right after boot camp and got married during A-school. She is now finished with school and is an AO. Her husband left for boot camp 4 days after they got married and is now finished with school. They are currently based in VA. If you have any questions at all I am happy to help just let me know.

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP---- Sometime during the summer months or even before check out the group Navy for Mom's Holiday Project. Each year they choose a group of sailors to send Christmas stockings filled with goodies. You can get your friends, your church, your local schools to help and maybe next year we will have so many people helping that we can do more than one ship. How awesome would that be. It doesn't matter if you can send one box or 50. All is greatly appreciated. And it is so much fun. We made our own Christmas cards to send with the 15 stockings and goodie bags that our family did together. We had a great time doing it and you will too.

You may contact me here on N4M's by sending me a friend request or you can send me a message on my FaceBook page. You can also send me a private email message to uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com. I look forward to hearing from you and would be happy to make ribbons for you to wear to PIR and show support for your Sailor. Thanks so much :-)
I am here to support my: Son/Daughter
Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy career?: Enlisted
When I heard “Navy,” I...: Needed to learn more about it
The Navy offers opportunities that...: Cherish every minute you have with your sailor. Expect things to not go as planned and be very flexible. Look forward to the next adventure your sailor will have..... I repeat Be Flexible.... Expect craziness and hope and pray for calmness. And One more thing.... Do Not try to drive 16 hours up and 18 hours back by your self in 3 days!!!!!! IT is CrAzy.... I recommend You FLY :)
Our Navy experience so far...: It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

Lovely to find another Carolina Mom, I was thinking North Carolina was sorely under represented up here, lol. We actually live in south charlotte/Ballantyne/Pineville are-don't know how familure you are with the area.

Question, I saw on your ribbon information #10, you included the emblems of other family members who are vets/ret/currently serving. Do you have a number limit on those-we are a military family up to 13, including my son. So how would you prefer it to be limited? lol. Or would you limit it to the branches, cause we cover all those except Nat. Guard-USMC-4,ARMY-4, AIR FORCE-3, NAVY-1-not including my son.

Bittersweet day for me today. Got my ribbons -they are beautiful, but knowing Tim won't be there makes me cry. We'll have to see when his time comes if there is a way to change the DIV number or add a ribbon on top of that side so he remembers 242 and still has the new DIV number. Has this ever happened to you before?

I only talk with him on Saturdays, and no letters came this week yet. He said as of last week he was already a phase three!! He is in a walking boot and getting PT. The hard part is knowing he got two awards in his DIV and now will not receive them. He was also told he may not get a graduation. It was good to see KC joined with just two weeks left and he gets to graduate. Can't wait for this to be over.

Hi LaLa,

First, as a mom and a crafter...I think what you are doing is awesome! I will definitely be ordering ribbons for our girl's PIR 10/7/11! She is in DIV 947 and I am so excited for her! Miss her like crazy though!

LaLa,
My girl plays saxophone and clarinet and she did marching band all through high school and was Drum Major her senior year...so she knows a lot about marching and drill. So I am sure I will see her either playing sax or clarinet...I really cannot wait even though she has only being gone 2 weeks now! Oct 7 is her grad date!!!!

It's great finally being in TX. We got to spend one day with our son before he left and I wore my ribbon all day! I made them into refrigerator magnets and shared them with friends. Thanks for making them!

Can I still order ribbons for div 291 PIR 9/9/11. Please let me know how much and where to make payment, Thx, I think we need about 12.

Aug 25, 2011
jbsgirl1417

LaLa,

I got a phone call from my girl on Monday after we had to contact Chaplain Care to notify her that my step-mom passed away. Anyway, she is the drum major for her division which is very exciting to me! She is also the division yeoman! I am so glad they saw that she is a natural born leader and gave her two leadership positions! A lot of work for her but I know she can handle it! I will indeed make sure she orders the video as well as pictures.
