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.

  • laurelbc 11/180

    Thank you Lora for your kind words.  My overwhelming experience on Navy 4 Moms has been very positive.  This is the first time I've encountered someone who wanted to be confrontational rather than supportive.  I will remember you and Dianne and Jessica.  Not the crabby lady :)

  • AliciaG (Ship 12, DIV 204)

    Hi Lala!

    LOOOVE my beautiful ribbons! Really enjoyed talking with you and REALLY looking forward to our Navy4Mom mini get together in Palm Harbor next Wednesday! It will be great to meet you and the other ladies who are coming! Let the PIR celebration begin!

  • Momship

    hi lala, do you know of a group for mwd?

  • rnterry 04/817 PIR 7/27 alumni

    Hi Lala, Do most families get the first or last name on their ribbon.  My son will always be Brendan to me but I know the Navy calls him Hutchins.  Help.  Thanks. Terry

  • cherylhubb

    Thanks Lala. I got my order placed. I also printed out the questionnaire. We'll see how much he fills out & if he sends it back. The funny part for me is question 22. I've already told him I would come up there & kick some butt if needed. I'm a Muay Thai fighter in training for a fight coming up in Aug. They may out weigh me but I can kick them in the head.lol. I'm currently pretty banged up from a sparring session last friday. I hope it clears up completely before his graduation. I thought my nose may be broken but thankfully it isn't. Let me know if I need to kick some butts for you other women.haha. Thanks again Lala!!

  • IndyMom

    Hi..Just panicking a little because I haven't gotten my ribbons yet.  I sent to order but had trouble with paypal-so I sent a money order with the order no#.  Could you check on it for me.  Patrice Finn 1966 Lakes Edge Drive, Newburgh, IN 47630  I order four ribbons.

  • TLover21

  • proudmomma65

    Lala, is there still time to get ribbons.  I will be flying to Chicago on the 15th of August. Do people usually put their SR last name or first name?

  • MamaLamaDingDong: AO/Pensacola

  • Jenideer (Ship 11/ Div 302)

  • FresnoNavyMom (Nuke School)

  • Leoyak (Ship3/Div330)

    Hello Lala!  I think you should make a Navy Mom cell phone purse for all us crazy Moms who are waiting for our first phone calls!

     

  • SusanGMom of 2

    Hi Lala,
    I would like to request/order ribbons for me to wear to my SR's PIR. So please remind me what I need to tell you and how much they cost.

    Thank you so very much,
    Susan Giller

  • Leoyak (Ship3/Div330)

    I would so buy a Navy Mom phone purse.  I was having a heck of a time keeping my phone with me while waiting for that first call.  Don't know how many times I jumped up searching for it in a panic.  And my suits have no pockets so I had to hide it in my bra while at work LOL! 

    I envision one side saying Navy Mom, and the other with this picture:Then, if anybody asked, I could just point to that picture :)  Waddya think?

  • Momof2sailors

    Lala-I just sent a friend request, didn't send the message with it. My daughter and stepson both have PIR on 9/14. would there be any way to get both divisions on our ribbons? and if I send a check would I still be able to get my ribbons in time?

  • jonnie's sister

    Hi Lala just sent you a friend request ide love to have a ribbon for my sister please get back to me with details thanks.

  • ANDREWSMOM

    Hi Lala - I want to order 3 ribbons for my sons PIR on 9-28. If I order them now, will I receive before the 27th (that is the day I am flying from FL to IL). Thanks!

  • Proudmama

    Hi, I have an SR with a PIR 9/28/12 and just saw all the beautiful ribbons you sell.  Do you have a website where I can order some?  This has been such an incredible experience and its just the beginning.  I hope some day I will be able to share my "mom wisdom" with others just as you all have for us newbie moms.  My son is in Div 820 so don't know if that makes a difference with the ribbons.  I already found a scarf with the stars and stripes as well as shoes.  Thank you so much for all your help.

  • cathyraz

    Hi Lala, I LOVE the ribbons that you made for my 1st son last year! I am proud to say I need a 2nd set of ribbons made for my 2nd son now in Bootcamp!

    Please let me know again how to contact you to order?

    Thanks!
