First, I would like to say how thankful I am to the men and women who have served and who currently serve our great nation! :) ...and a big thank you to all of you who have family in the military! You are rock stars!

So what do you think? I think the best part is that you aren't actually changing the first necklace. You're just making it better...and you can always change it back by removing the ribbon!
