Celebrating Veterans with Lapel Pins and Custom Challenge Coins

Veterans Day 2010 is just around the corner.  The annual holiday honoring military veterans falls on Thursday November 11th this year.  It marks the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I. Records show that the Armistice was signed at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in1918, thus providing the official holiday date of 11/11. Adding Personalized Products to Veterans Day Activities Lapel Pins Plus has not one, but two great ways to say thank you to veterans.  We suggest creating a personalized challenge coin or lapel pin. Both options are completely customizable and can effectively display the sincerity of the people paying tribute.

Custom lapel pins may be small but still have the ability to give a big thank you to members of the armed forces. Family members and friends can effortlessly create a lapel pin design to honor loved ones they have lost, who have served or are still serving in the armed forces. Even something as simple as the United States flag lapel pin could be created as a way of honoring these brave individuals.

The same concept applies to challenge coins as well.  A challenge coin’s design can include an emblem of the armed forces branch the recipient belongs to on the front and a message of thanks on the back.  Also, challenge coins can be double sided which allows for more details or information. In addition to single or double sided options, we offer several other design choices that will all work together to create a coin like the one you see here.

Features of the 20th Anniversary Vietnam Veterans Memorial Coin

This Veterans Day 2010 anniversary coin is nontraditional yet is truly meaningful.  Some of its key design features are:

• Custom Shape – Not all coins are round. Some are square, triangular, and customized to include more than one shape. This coin is rectangular on the bottom with a “cut-out” on the top.
• Cut-Out Details– The ordinal number 20 on the top of the coin is what we call a “cut out”. It gets its name from how spaces in the design were completely cut out rather than colored or dyed to show the details of it.
• Selection of Colors – We offer wide selection of colors combinations for you to choose from.  This particular challenge coin combines bright red and yellow roses, white accents, and a black background with gold edges and letters.
• Personalized Text – The word anniversary appears under the cut-out.  Those paying tribute clearly express their sentiment in the words, “Sons and Daughters in Touch” and “They Were Our Fathers”.  Lastly, the organization’s name and this year’s Veterans Day are proudly announced toward the bottom of the challenge coin.
