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.

I would like to order 7 ribbons. What do you need to know? My son, Thomas - his PIR is 10-21-11. He's in ship 11, USS Kearsarge Division 350. He's a Hull Technician,too. How do I place/pay for the order? Ooh, I like the Proud Navy Mom one, too!
My son's PIR is Oct. 7, I would really like to order 4 ribbons, please let me know what I have to do and if it is not to late. I lookk forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks alot, Kim
Hello, I would really like to order some ribbons from you if it's not too late for the Sept 30th PIR. Please let me know if this is possible. Thanks!!!
Thank you so much for the beautiful ribbons. We are going to wear them on Friday at the PIR because there is a new Sailor is town! We are so excited to see him and love on him. Thank you for the support, especially that evening that my nerves were attempting to get the best of me. You were right... he passed everything and will graduate. Thank the Lord!
Do you have an order form for the ribbons or do I just tell you what I'd like? I wasn't sure how to order/pay. I looked you up on Facebook and tried your uniquiememorymakers website, but it said 'coming soon'. I think I'd like four of the Navy blue ribbons and one red one for his Proud Navy Mom! He is in Ship 11, USS Kearsarge, Division 250. His PIR is 10--21-11. He's a Hull Technician. The Navy blue ribbons with the silver letters/numbers looked nice.
I would like to order 6 Ribbons for my son Matt his PIR is 10/14 Ship02 Div343 My email is Mmld1020@optonline.net. If you let me know the amt I will send a check or give my credit card. Ill have it in the mail tomorrow if I have the info. Thanks
Could you please send me more information on these ribbons? They sound awsome!!! Thank you so much! my emiail is navymomjulie2011@gmail.com and i can't wait to hear from you!
Got my ribbon's today and they are beautiful! Gave one to grandma who won't be going to graduation with us and she cried she was so touched. Thank you for such a great service. Blessings to you.
I am interested in ordering 3 ribbons (navy/gold). If possible, proud navy mom, proud navy sister and proud navy nephew. His PIR is 10/21. My e-mail address is wheezy1961@yahoo.com.
Hi Lala! Thank you for accepting my friend request. I was going to send you an inbox but TODAY *I* am having inbox issues. It won't let me "send". Did you figure out how to fix yours or did it fix itself? Very frustrating! Anyway, I LOVE your ribbons and your scrapbook stuff! You are very talented! They are awesome! I'm going to wait just a little bit before I order, however, because my SR is having some difficulties. :( Oh! Thanks for the great PIR tips also! Very, very helpful! I will get in touch with you soon. Thanks again!
Thank you Lala. I "fixed" mine accidentally, probably by doing what you just described, but not realizing it. LOL! But I will be sure to keep your comment for future reference. :o) The tree... I wish I could say I took the pic and the tree is def. real, but I didn't and I don't know. It's a picture I found online and fell in love with. I'm a huge lover of dance and that's what the tree looks like to me... a dancer. I think it's beautiful and hope it's real. :) I'm glad you like it too.
Lala i am interested in ordering ribbons my email is fdkerleyfries@sbcglobal.net - would you please send me ordering information ASAP - I am excited!! I will need to order 8 for various family members
