The Freedom Center Honors Those That Have Served

November 22nd, 2011

From time to time we are given the opportunity to create pins for special events honoring military men and women as well as veterans. Recently, we were able to help our customer celebrate the opening of The Freedom Center which is a permanent lounge dedicated to traveling members of our Armed Forces. It opened inside the McNamara Terminal at Detroit Metropolitan Airport on Veterans Day, November 11, 2011. The official grand opening celebration took place at 1100 hours on 11/11/11. We helped honor members of the military by creating custom lapel pins honoring this momentous occasion.

Temporary military lounges were set up by volunteers the past two holiday seasons. The service was spearheaded by Delta Air Lines and TSA employees and assisted by military veterans. Over 2,400 members of the military and their families used the lounge the 21 days it was open in December and January. The need for a permanent facility was abundantly clear after this experience the last two years.

“Freedom Center is dependent on the support of our whole community, whether it’s a financial or in-kind donation or the dedicated efforts of our many volunteers,” said Ken Pratt, president of Michigan Armed Forces Hospitality Center, Inc. “It’s one way we can all say ‘Thank you for your service’ to every soldier, sailor, airman and Marine who travels through DTW.

Having custom lapel pins to hand out at the event was an added bonus. The small pieces of memorabilia commemorated the moment and made everyone present feel welcomed and appreciated. The type of souvenir that really makes an impression, custom pins are enjoyed and worn by people of all ages proving that they are the ultimate gift item to have on hand at grand openings and other special occasions.

Using Lapel Pins to Support Our Troops

September 8th, 2011

Have you ever thought of a way to show your support for the troops? Did you know that despite the small size of lapel pins that they pack a powerful message? You heard that right. Custom lapel pins are great tools for getting a point across. Even better, when attached to custom cardstock, they are even more effective. A simple message of hope can mean so much to a member of the military stationed far away from their family. In fact, it may be just the encouragement that they need to see them through a difficult time.

Custom Cardstock Help Extend Your Lapel Pin’s Message

Custom cardstock extends the message. Because it is printed with your choice of text, it can be created in a way to evoke emotion, demonstrate pride or educate the public. A personal quote or poem can be used to thank members of the military for their service. This is one way to remain fresh in the minds of active duty men and women as well as retired troops.

Common Symbols Can Be Recreated Into New and Unique Artwork

Some symbols that are typically associated with the military are the American Flag, the Bald Eagle and the yellow ribbon. You can incorporate these images into your design. Our talented team of graphic artists will go the extra mile to create artwork that is reflective of your military unit or business’ unique personality. Feel free to share your design ideas with us when you call or email us to request a free quote.

Individuals place these pins in a visible location like an article of clothing or a hat and where them wherever they go.

Honor a new Military Mom that is enlisted with custom recognition lapel pins. These tiny tokens of appreciation go a long way to boost morale and make others feel loved and appreciated. Custom pins can take form in a variety of different sizes, shapes, colors, and styles. They can feature an image or a photograph and typically include at least one to two lines of text.

Custom Lapel Pins Help Raise Funds for Care Packages

You can order pins for your Support Group of Military Moms. This allows you to gain the trust of members of your community at fundraising events. People can see the pins that you wear and know that you are involved with a noble cause. They will be more likely to donate their time and money when they see that you are using it to help put together care packages for the Military Moms you have adopted.

As an added treat, you can enclose a custom lapel pin in each package. The message that you choose to print on the pin can be personalized for each unit of Military Moms you choose to recognize. Some common symbols found on military related memorabilia include the American Flag, a yellow ribbon, the Statue of Liberty, the Liberty Bell, and the colors red, white, and blue. Stars and stripes are also something that we receive a lot of requests for but you don’t have to choose any of these if you don’t want.

Best Military Mom Recognition Award Pins

If you know mothers that are on Active Duty, you can give them a pin that reads, “Best Military Mom”. This will make each woman feel exceptional because being a mother and a member of the military is hard work. Dividing herself between her children and her country can prove to be difficult at times. Military Moms may find themselves living in different areas of the world without their children during times of conflict. If you know mothers that happen to be performing their military duty in a place far away from their children, sending them a custom lapel pin and a card can really make their day.

Custom lapel pins are a great way to honor women with children that serve the United States military. Whether it is the Army, the Navy, the Air Force or the Marines, one thing is certain. Military Moms love their children and their country. Doesn’t it seem right then to give them the recognition that they deserve with custom lapel pins from Lapel Pins R Us?

July 8th, 2011

Active Duty Military Personnel serve and protect our country. Whether on U.S. soil or abroad, these brave individuals are to be commended.

One of the easiest ways to do just that is with the help of Lapel Pins R Us.

Custom Lapel Pins Are Versatile

Using lapel pins for insignia for military personnel is a great idea. You can offer them to guests on your ship or at your command. You can also add them to your uniform for identification purposes. This is a great way to allow others to know who you are and what branch of the military that you are affiliated with.

Custom Lapel Pins Come in Different Sizes, Shapes, and Styles

Custom lapel pins come in a variety of sizes. In fact, you do not have to create a large pin for it to be effective. Working with our design team, you can request a smaller size which allows you to add them to your attire without making them too noticeable or distracting. This helps you get the message across in a subtle but effective way.

You can also request a custom shape. Lapel pins do not have to be round or square. They can be created in a way that accentuates the artwork that we create for you. This makes the pins attractive and unique which are two qualities that add to the visual appeal of lapel pins.

We offer soft enamel, cloisonne, die struck, and offset printed lapel pins. Each has its own unique look and list of benefits. For example, if you want a pin that looks classic and that can be worn on a uniform, you’ll want to consider die struck. Corporations and organizations prefer this style of lapel pin because of its timeless appearance.

The lapel pins can also be any size, shape or color which gives groups plenty of freedom to be creative. Features like spinning and sliding pieces, blinking lights, and bobble heads add to the appeal of these small tokens of appreciation.

Pin Trading Makes Events Lively

Members of the military can swap lapel pins with other units. This fun pastime can take the edge off of a stressful day and help forge friendship with other service men and women. Aside from providing these individuals with something exciting to do after a long day of work, custom lapel pins also serve as a keepsake of what they accomplished during their military careers.

Custom Ribbon Pins Help Military Families Cope

October 18th, 2010

Lapel pins have become well known for their practicality and numerous uses. The customizable options offered by a lapel pin manufacturer like Lapel Pins R Us makes it easy to design them in a meaningful and creative way. More commonly we are seeing our clients incorporate the ribbon styles in their custom pin design. One group of individuals that are taking advantage of this opportunity is the families of armed forces service members.

Ribbon Pins Reflect Honor, Duty and Respect

Ribbon lapel pins can be aligned with the military principles of:

Honor – With lapel pins being convenient enough to be worn on a daily basis, family members of service men and women can wear these tokens to pay tribute to these brave women and men. This type of lapel pin is also good for recognizing members’ specific contributions or in remembrance of military personnel who are no longer with us.

Duty – As proud as we are of the sacrifices service members make to protect our freedom, we cannot afford to forget they are missed by their families and personal duties to them still exist. Military lapel pins are not only for show and can be used to raise money to bring service members home.

Respect – Individuals who were raised within or among members of the military will tell you exactly how much importance is put on respect. Not only can personalized ribbon pins be used to pay respect to armed forces members but also to specific branches or units by including the military branch and unit names.

It is important for families, and society as whole, to honor and pay tribute to our members of the armed forces in whatever ways they can. Custom lapel pins make it easy to do so with the wide variety of design options that are available now.

We are here to help you honor the special people in your life. Call Lapel Pins R Us today at 1-800-480-6822 to start your military ribbon pin order or send us an email at info@lapelpinsrus.com.
