United States Armed Forces Ornament

The United States Armed Forces ornament is a small token of how grateful we are to the Army, Navy, Airforce, Marines, and Coast Guard. Since our nation's founding, the primary obligation of the national government has been the common defense of these United States. We must remember that defense of our homeland begins on the distant battlefields of the world, our forward-deployed forces are and will remain our first line of defense. The men and women in our Armed Forces protect our allies and interests abroad, keep the seas and the skies free of threat. Just as America stands as an example to the world of the inestimable benefits of freedom and democracy, so too an America with the capacity to project her power for the purpose of protecting and expanding freedom and democracy abroad benefits the suffering people of the world.
