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.

Thank you Lala. I'm leaving for PIR on Thursday and wanted to use them for ribbons, but I did find alternatives and can use them for his scrapbook if they don't make it in time. (:

Can I still order ribbions for my PIR on 12/6?

There's no PIR 02/14/2104 or 02/21/2014 because of the 3 weeks when recruits were not received at the RTC. I suspect that we will find that there are 6-8 divisions in the 02/28/2014 TG and that the 03/07/2014 TG began at the end of last week and will fill this week and we will also start the 03/14/2014 TG this week.

Hi LaLa Ribbon Queen, I was told by diannep that you might be able to help me with a question I have re: 900 divisions. My son was chosen for honor guard - 915 division. Why is it that in some grads. there are three rows of honor guard, and in some other grads, there are three rows, but the 3rd row keeps marching and doesn't stand for review. Thank you.

Hi lala ribbon queen! I would like to order ribbons for 02/28/14 PIR. Sent a friend request to get more information.

So if my son is in Div 915, that doesn't necessarily mean he will be performing at his OWN graduation? I'm hoping he calls today so I can ask him myself. I know, in watching recent grads, that some of the performers DO graduate that day and some are still training. I can only hope he's in a group that we will see and not be behind the scenes somewhere.

Hi LaLa Ribbon Queen,

I would like to order ribbons for 2/28/14 PIR. I sent you a friend request to get more Iinformation. Thank you! :)

Thanks for replying, Lora. We already know he is honor guard and his letter to his girlfriend confirmed that he will be performing in his PIR, well as of today anyway, I'm learning how things can change up to the very last minute. I'll be sure to let you know how it all went down when we return from the graduation.

Hi, I'm sorry to bother you but I was wondering what the turnaround time is on the ribbons? We will be leaving the weekend before my son's PIR 07/18. If they don't come till the week of PIR I would need to ask if you could send them to a different address. Thank you so much for making these. Looking forward to that 3rd Friday of this month !
