On 7 October 2001, early combat operations in Afghanistan signaled the start of Operation Enduring Freedom

The Origins of the Campaign
The operation was originally called “Operation Infinite Justice” (often misquoted as “Operation Ultimate Justice”),but as similar phrases have been used by adherents of several religions as an exclusive description of God, it is believed to have been changed to avoid offense to Muslims, who are the majority religion in Afghanistan.

U.S. President George W. Bush’s remark that “this crusade, this war on terrorism, is going to take a while”, which prompted widespread criticism from the Islamic world, and may also have contributed to the renaming of the operation.

This campaign has continued todate and it’s estimated that over 2 million US Military service personnel
have served in Afghanistan and Iraq or both. With a contingent of approx 103700 currently serving in Afghanistan.

Deployments have always been a part of military life and many have
had a significant impact on keeping American safe and secure.

Operation Enduring Freedom Deployment Rings – designed to commemorate previous sacrifice.

One of the best ways to commemorate this time abroad is with deployment rings.
These beautifully crafted rings are a tribute to these deployments and there are a number of different options for creating the perfect ring. For example, perhaps you want to give your loved one a ring for
deploying to Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan.

These rings can be customized to suite the individual service person
To what extent can you customize Operation Enduring Freedom Deployment Rings?
First of all, you can customize the stone. There are two options: simple cut diamond like stone, or laser vue cut stone. The laser vue option lets you engrave whatever you want inside the stone.
Popular choices include the American flag or corps insignia; there are 19 options to choose from.

You’ll also be happy to know that Operation Enduring Freedom Deployment Rings can have their sides customized. You can have the soldier’s name on one of the sides, just below the unit’s insignia, and the deployment date or TOD date on the other side.

Another much appreciated customization option is the fact that you can also write a very personal message inside of the ring – however, you need to keep it under 18 characters, spaces included.

While deployment rings are the perfect choice for someone just leaving,
they are also a great gift for someone who has just returned. Perhaps you’d like to give a deployment
ring for an anniversary, birthday, or retirement gift. However, there doesn’t have to be a special
occasion to recognize the selfless service and sacrifice of our military members.

Band of Brothers

Thank you for taking the time out to read this posting. As you are reading this right now, you can rest assured that there are many soldiers around the world that fall in to the category of liberators and patriots.

Liberators of Iraq

The most recent liberation that we can all identify with is the liberation of Iraq, and as a result of modern communications and technology we could see the actual battle taking place and the defiance of the Hussein regime in stating that they were in full control, as we in the rest of the world saw US Military Tanks roll into the heart of Baghdad. Whether this was the right decision or not, is not for the layman to  say, but certainly, because we live in a democratic society we are allowed to question these decisions, because in questioning can we fully understand the reason we invaded.  Anyway, what was the alternative ! I would welcome your answers and observations.

Who Were The Liberators?

In my humble opinion, the liberators were the men and women of the allied armed services led by the United States were the true liberators, not the policy makers or those in high office who have never set foot on a battlefield. The young men and women of the Marine Corps, the Infantry, the Cavalry and the countless other units and brigades that make up the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Coast Guard.

We need to congratulate all members of our United States Military and the Allied Forces that were also in support of this noble cause. When they return to our shores they should be treated with the utmost respect, and lets not have a repeat of what happened to some when the returned from earlier conflicts like Vietnam.

For those who will not return or who have been fatally injured, bow your head in prayer once in a while and remember them and their families. They paid the ultimate price for our freedom……ask yourself, what have I done today?

Gone but not forgotten…should be a little more than just words.

Honor the Liberators of Iraq

One of the most unique ways to honor these fine people is to purchase for the a piece of jewelry like the military rings, which can be customized with all the deatils of their military career.
