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?

A willing young woman, a bottle of single malt, and a 1911!
ReplyDeleteA nice framed lithograph with an
ReplyDeleteengraved plaque commemorating his
years of service. There are plenty
of artists who produce military
themed work.
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:
ReplyDeleteCo-Sign a loan for him,
Donate Money for his education,
Invest in his business venture,
etc.
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.
ReplyDeleteOur "gift" of appreciation (well, Major Chuck won the drawing) at he Gunblogger's Rendezvous was a double-stack 1911. :-)
ReplyDeleteI see I'm not the first to think 1911. Thank you all for your service, flurme
ReplyDeleteI 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.
