Honoring the men and women that served and protected our country is something we take great pride in.  From hosting colorful parades to offering special incentives to military personnel, individuals and businesses do whatever it takes to help out our Veterans. Demonstrating Your Patriotism By Wearing USA Lapel Pins Custom lapel pins in the shape of an American Flag or yellow ribbon have special significance because of the meaning behind each symbol.  These military based images evoke feelings of pride and patriotism.  In addition to showing past and present members of our armed forces support, these emblems have also come to represent who we are as a nation. Take flag lapel pins for example.  No other symbol is as widely recognized by people in other countries.  The United States of America's flag has the colors red, white, and blue in it.  There are fifty stars which represent the fifty states.  There are also 13 stripes which represent the original 13 colonies.  These emblems are enough to spark a heated debate as to what side of the lapel they should be worn on. Celebrities and Politicians Wear Pins Anyone from the latest celebrity to the most well-known politician has shown their love for the country by wearing a patriotic lapel pin of their liking.  Some past symbols include the Liberty Bell, the Statue of Liberty, the bald eagle, as well as red, white, and blue stars and stripes. Custom lapel pins are great for this reason because they can incorporate a well-known symbol into a completely unique design.  This is a great way for businesses, organizations, and universities to get some really good exposure.  Alongside an iconic image, they can have their logo or photograph and information like their name, web address, and email included in the design. Patriotism is something we cultivate in this country.  With that being said, Americans can show their pride by creating custom lapel pins that are rich in symbolism and as unique as the men and women that choose to wear them.  In addition to being the type of item that other people notice, custom lapel pins are collectible and historical which adds to their perceived value.
