SAN DIEGO, Nov. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Just Released: The first officially licensed Armed Forces holiday ornament created by the Spirit of Liberty Foundation to honor military heroes and their families featuring the official emblems and symbols of the Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard.
Rarely do the emblems and symbols of the five services appear together on a single item, though this first-time ornament has been officially licensed by each of the services.
"We want to establish a vehicle to honor our men and women in uniform" said Richard Rovsek, chairman of the Spirit of Liberty Foundation. "It enables those of us who benefit from the courage and sacrifice of our armed forces to demonstrate our support this holiday season and throughout the year."
In addition to the emblems and symbols of each of the services, the ornament features a visual of a gold star on an American Flag and the words "Spirit of Liberty" and "Freedom is not Free." The symbols float proudly on a flowing American Flag and feature the words "God Bless America" on the front of each ornament.
It can be purchased online, at retail and by mail order for $15.95 + shipping or $19.95+shipping with a personalized inscription.
"As a soldier who has been deployed overseas, I know the importance of home front support, "said retired Master Sgt. Major Kaleb Weakley, recipient of two purple hearts and currently Vice President of American Warrior Brands, a Spirit of Liberty Foundation project supporting veterans. "When people remember and celebrate our service, pursuing our missions in harm's way is made easier."
The Armed Forces Ornament, a demonstration of the American spirit of liberty, will be available only until Dec. 31, 2016, after which its design will be retired.
