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.

Hi Lala, Have an order in my cart at your website, but it is saying I have not filled out the field for the American flag. What info do I put there? My son's father was in the USCG and his grandfather was in the USN. Do you need to know how many ribbons get a flag? Since it's so close to PIR, I can just place the order without the flag if that makes the order go faster! We are staying at the NavyLodge so maybe it would be better for you to ship the ribbons there for our PIR 11/30?

Dear Lora - I really need to talk to you about my son. I know your not the all omniscient Navy mom but maybe you could help me deal with some issues my son is having. Would you have a few minutes to call me? I think we are both on the east coast so if you have time after 8pm that would be great. If not...just write me back and maybe we could somehow chat on line.
Your help has been seriously appreciated.
Sincerely - Diane

I'm hoping you got my request for 4 ribbons but I haven't seen a reply to give you details. I know this is very short notice as his PIR is 5/10. It would be so nice to be able to surprise him with your special ribbons. Hope I hear from you!

Hi LaLa! I am in waynesville! I want a ribbon to wear on 7/3. I will order. Thank you for all you do for us moms. So you will not have a sailor PIRing on 7/3? Do you think it is best to fly? I'll rent a car in case my sailor wants to sight see since the next day is 7/4. I would love to stay in touch since we are "neighbors" and please check out my website: stainedglassbungalow.com I am a stained glass artist of 20 years and want to design navy panels for our sailors and their families. what do you think?
