With all these years, I have never bought a ring. Pretty good, very solid. Stripes and Stars on the flag are a bit raised.

Sterling silver, 18k gold trim and enamel on the flag. Rank and name engraved on the inside.

Why do you have Lt. Smith's ring?

[bsmith]

10 stripes and 20 stars?
That would bug the shit out of me.

I think if we can simply re-name Ft. Bragg, Ft. Hood, and other historic military installations, we can delete a few stripes and a few stars, don't you think? Probably all tied in with the '1619 project' and DIE.

You're wearing it wrong...:yesnod:

10 stripes and 20 stars?

20 stars is the 1818-1819 US flag.

20 stars is the 1818-1819 US flag.

I was going to make a joke about it being when he served, but didn't want to risk being disrespectful.

Wow.... holy street cred rapper, batman. Even my Masonic ring isn't that big :willy:

Been wearing this Jostens 10K gold aquamarine stone since 2001 when I made Chief. I wear it all the time when I go out, but not around the house. Jostens has a life time guarantee, sent it back because I chipped the stone, they replaced with new, no charge or shipping. :seasix:

Agree.

I don't do the jewelry thing. No rings. No watch. No neck chain. Zero. Zip.
Hell, I don't even like keys or change in my pocket. And I don't carry a wallet.

The only "jewelry" I still wear every day are these: :seasix:

I wear my college ring. Not a big name school but I am proud to have graduated.
Worked full time and went to school full time for my last two years. Also got married during that time

[DAB]

i have several to choose from..... :leaving:

at present, i wear my wedding ring on my left ring finger, and a silver ring with a Christian cross on it on my right ring finger. also wear 2 necklaces under my shirt, one a gold cross inset with diamonds from my mom and grandmother, and a shorter chain with my wife's wedding ring and a ring from my mom.

both rings were given to me by my wife, so they, and the necklaces have meaning to me.

I mean, that's all very nice, but the question is, do you pity the fool?

Ha ! I remember when it was fashionable to drill a hole in a silver dollar and wear it on a chain around your neck, I think I still have a couple "standing liberty" dollars with the hole.

[BADRACR1]

I only wear two: wedding ring and a Tiger Eye my grandmother gave me back in the early eighties. I do carry my Dad's high school ring and one of my Mom's on my keychain.

[Frankie the Fink]

That ring reminds me of those goofy Concealed Carry badges some fools, somewhere will buy: https://www.badgeandwallet.com/concealed-carry

I do wear a Vietnam-era veterans ball cap on Veteran's Day though - the ONLY time I do it.

Dont remember that "fad". My drilled coin has a lot more meaning than just a dollar with a hole in it....:yesnod:

As does mine, my departed Dad drilled the silver dollar for an ornament and I cherish it to this day.

The more I read the OP’s postings on military and vet matters, the more convinced I become he is a compete fraud.

[VatorMan]

Being in the electrical trade, I’ve never worn a ring.

Smart and totally understand, I worked with a man that got electrocuted on one of the "yellow gear" F-14 "huffers" used to start the planes when his watch got snagged in the wrong place - not a pretty way to go.

Im sure it does....just not quite the same...;)
