Military Ring Info

The Tet offensive was conducted in 1968 by Viet Cong and NVA forces against the Republic of Viet Nam during the Viet Nam War. These operations began on the 1st day of the Vietnamese new year (Tet). Enemy forces conducted this operation after both sides had announced a 2 day cease fire in honor of the New Year. These attacks caught allied forces totally by surprise partly because they did not believe that the North Vietnamese could mount an offensive operation of any significant size and partly because of the holiday.

This operation consisted of multiple simultaneous attacks in various locations and was very well planned and coordinated. The offensive was conducted in phases that lasted well into September. The offensive proved to be disasterous for the North Vietnamese for many reasons but was successful in creating anti war sentiment in the US.

There are still many Viet Nam veterans around who may have memories of this particular operation. You can use the tools that we provide to create a custom Viet Nam military ring.  

Operation Iraqi Freedom or The Second Gulf War began on March 20 2003 with the invasion of Iraq with a multinational force primarily composed of soldiers from the US and Great Britain. The stated purpose of the war was to remove weapons of mass destruction from Iraq which posed a preceived threat against the invading countries. This invasion successfully toppled the regime of Saddam Hussein. Mr Hussein was later captured and executed. Under the Status of Forces Agreement of 2008 all US soldiers will be out of Iraq bu Dec 31 2011.

This conflict is ongoing and it has successfully removed the Taliban from power in Afghanistan and severely crippled al-Qaeda in its terrorists operations.

This was a UN authorized conflict between Iraq and a UN coalition of 34 nations. The United States used elements from the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard to execute the UN mandate. These US units staged in Saudi Arabia for operation Desert Shield and began to execute the UN mandate (officially) on Jan 17th 1991 with a massive air campaign against the Iraqi Army. The ground offensive began on February 24th 1991 with an invasion of both Iraq and Kuwait with a rapid advance deep into both countries. Within 100 hours the objectives of the campaign were met and much of the Iraqi army was destroyed.

There are many of you who participated in this campaign and there are many memories associated with it. You can create your custom Operation Desert Storm Ring using the many designs that we have available to you.   

Navajo code talkers were used by the USMC during WWII. During that time there was no such thing as secure battlefield communications. All radio transmissions were made “in the clear.” Morse code and military phonetic spelling were too time consuming for battlefield use. The Marine Corps needed a language that could not be deciphered. The Navajo language was the perfect choice mainly because there were so few people that could speak it.

Navajo code talkers were used until the middle of the Vietnam War. The service that they performed for this country was invaluable and is credited with many victories for the Marines. This language and this chapter in history is not much more than a memory now. Are there memories that you have that you want to commemorate? Create your own custom military service ring to help you to hold onto your fond memories.  

There is absolutely positively nothing in the sky that will start to compare with the F-22 Raptor. This bad boy is so bad that there isn’t even any way that anyone will acquire the technology to come close to it anytime in the near future!!! Thats a mean machine.  

The F-22 uses stealth technology to go wherever it pleases at whatever time (24/7) that it wants. Radars and other aircraft can’t even find the Raptor to shoot it down!! This aircraft can operate undetected around the clock and travels up to mach 1.5 without even having to fire up its afterburners!! The pilot has 360 degree capability to see what is going on around him.

This is certainly a magnificent piece of equipment. If you have ever worked with or on this aircraft you can create an Air Force Pilots Ring to show your pride and to help you to tell your story.

 Military Rings are worn by retired and current members of the military as a highly visible expression of their proud participation in a branch of service. Their appeal surpasses distinctions of age, rank and gender. Like coast guard rings for instance, they are rings worn by personnel who is either currently of serviced or have once served the Coast guard. We know how much dedication they render to their work and the rings are just a single commemoration of their courage and hard work.

One can have them custom-made to be an imprint of your unique story of bravery and chivalry as a servant of the country and the countrymen. Every aspect of the great men’s service will surely be reflected on the classic designs of the rings which can be made of silver, gold, bronze or other durable metal.

My dad is a military man and I’ve seen his sacrifices and hard work over the years.  His devotion to his service is truly immeasurable and that dedication has reaped him many awards and recognition.

For his 50th birthday, I couldn’t think of a better way to honor his achievement than a sergeant major ring. Sergeant major rings exactly reflects the strength and character that my dad have shown in his service. What made this military ring extra special is that I can have it personalized by having my dad’s initials engraved at the back of it. I can even include the day when my dad took his vow in his service. This military ring will surely symbolize his commitment and loyalty in serving our country.

“Buffalo Soldier” is the nickname given to the soldiers of the US 10th Cavalry Regiment by the Native American tribes that they were so often used to fight against. The name  later applied to the six all black regiments of US Army soldiers.

There are several different theories as to how the black soldiers became known as “buffalo soldiers.” One story that I was told by an Apache Indian descendant was that when they rode it sounded like a herd of thundering buffalo. The Cheyenne translation used for buffalo means wild buffalo. This name was said to be given to them because of their fierce fighting ability. A third theory is that the name was given to them because of their dark curly hair which resembled the hair of the buffalo. The real reason may never be known but you can make sure that your personal story is always known by creating your own custom military ring.  

Jump School is conducted by the 1st Battalion (Airborne) 507th IN which is located in Fort Benning GA is an all volunteer school which services all branches of the US military. This three week course teaches the volunteer techniques in being deployed into combat by parachute. This course is also designed to develop leadership and physical and mental toughness in the volunteer.

I was surprised by the physical demands of this school when I went through way back when. I had a new found respect for paratroopers by the time that I graduated. By the time you make your first jump you will be ready both physically and mentally.

The parachutists badge and jumpmaster’s badge are two of the laser vue designs available to you when you create your paratrooper’s ring, or jumpmaster’s ring.
