I will wear this pendant as a sign to me and to others
of how proud I am of having a loved one serve for our freedom.
I respect that you have chosen to serve our country, so that peace can be secured.
When I see the reflection of this pendant, I will boast of our freedom and
be reminded of the honor that I have in my heart, knowing you are out there
fighting for what peace symbolizes. I am proud of you!
