Gift of appreciation for a Veteran

A US Serviceman is soon to end his military enlistment, he has served two tours in Iraq & Afghanistan as a US Marine, what would be an appropriate gift?
Few tokens can properly express gratitude and appreciation--for military men & women in general--I'd like to welcome him home with a memento.

What do you recommend?

  3. A nice framed lithograph with an

    engraved plaque commemorating his

    years of service. There are plenty

    of artists who produce military

    themed work.

  4. I received a few emails from readers as well, all recommending you show him that his courage and dedication are truly appreciated by you by investing in his future:

    Co-Sign a loan for him,

    Donate Money for his education,

    Invest in his business venture,

    etc.

  5. If it is to be a token, then +1 on a 1911 or AR-15. Grips for all the armed forces symbols and many units are available for the 1911.

  8. I was in the Marine Corps - A card that said "thank you" would be fine. Like the IDF we do what we do cause it needs to be done and we love our country. Thats it - period.
