I just wanted to give you guys a heads up. I started sending the ribbon orders out that many of you ordered so if you placed an order for ribbons to wear to PIR to show your support for your soon to be Sailor be watching you mail, it is stalking time lol. Also, I added a great questionnaire to the discussions and you will want to check it out. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the questionnaire. Thanks so much for the ribbon orders. If anyone has any questions at all just send me a friend request or message on this site or an email to uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com :-) LaLa

Hi Lala, Could you please fill me in on the ribbon order? I don't know anything about it. Thanks for your questionnaire. I've sent my daughter a few different ones over the past couple of weeks.

Hi Paul, just send me a friend request and I will send you all the info needed to place an order. This group still has plenty of time to order and receive ribbons before they leave for PIR. You can also send me an email to: uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com
The ribbons are a great way to show your pride and support for your Sailor. They also make it easy to recognize other members of Navy for Moms and they make a great keepsake. They are not frilly and are suitable for men as well. I have had lots of Dads who were very happy to wear them. Let me know if you have any questions at all. You can see pics on my page on this site and if you have facebook I have even more pics on that site. Thanks

I just got my daughter's letter and it said they go 2 days before graduation. I don't know if that's when they start or finish. That's really late. I'll be in Chicago on 11/16.

I got a letter from my daughter today and it said she can't receive letters after the 10th her next phone call home will be the 17th. So I was a little confused on the time frame. If ya'll hear anything please let me know and I will do the same.

cmhs, I just returned from a trip and my daughter had sent 3 letters, dated Oct 23/24/25, Oct 27 and Nov. 1. She never mentioned anything about not receiving mail after the 10th in any of her letters/ In her last one she asked me to send her contacts for PIR. However, in lieu of your post, I'm a little worried that she may not receive them since today is the 7th. Did you hear any thing else? What was the date of your daughter's letter?
