Apparently, it's a tradition in higher military ranks to give out presents to their family during their promotion ceremony. My hubby gave me a dozen red roses and a drawing of a necklace he wants to get made (10 days notice wasn't enought time to get that done). His concept for the necklace would have three discs. One would be the Spartan shield with a colonel eagle on the back. The discs on both sides of it would have Spartan artwork that signifies the Spartan women, because the strength of the Army is the Spartan women, according to one quote. As you can tell, my husband is a huge fan of military history.
