PIR is getting closer and closer for this PIR group. I still can't believe September is almost over, Here is just a heads up, I am working on the ribbons for your group to wear to PIR, I have several that I haven't received the payment for so if you ordered and forgot to send your payment please remember to do that :-) I will begin mailing the ribbons for this PIR group very soon. If you have any questions at all send me a message or a friend request and I will get back to you ASAP. Thanks so much!!! I hope you all get some awesome letters and fantastic phone calls this week. If you haven't seen the Encouraging questionnaire I posted in the discussion be sure and check it out. This is a really good time to send it. It is funny and has a really encouraging paragraph in it about battle stations. You can even send a couple extras for them to share with their friends and they can fill it out and send it to their family. You guys are awesome, Thanks again, Lala

I have scanned thru the previous threads and can not find any references to ribbons. So I have a lot of questions.
What ribbons? What are they for? Do all SRs get them or just ones who have paid? Who pays? What about those whose mom does not see this? I am confused!

I am sorry, I know there were posts where people were asking about the ribbons but they seem to get lost. Most of them are on the main PIR group page. The ribbons are for parents, wives, family, friends etc. to wear to PIR. They are a great way to show support and pride for your sailor. They make it easy to recognize other Navy for Mom members and the also make a great keepsake. You can see pics on my page and on my facebook page, Unique Memory Makers, Whoever wants ribbons to wear can order them and you pay for your own order. just click on my name to send me a friend request and I will send you all the info as well as some helpful tips for PIR. Thanks so much, Lora
