These are patriotic themed pins, with red, clear (white) and blue stones. The top pin is a stylized eagle that I purchased at the Clinton Presidential Library in Arkansas. The American flag pin came from a gift shop in a Dallas mall. Beginning the day after September 11, 2001, I wore the flag pin every single day for two years. We had a flag pole installed in our front yard and still fly the American flag every day. September 11 was so devastating to our country, it just helped to show our patriotism in these small ways.
They are both beautiful pins and your photo of them is magnificent! You caught the details with great clarity. I like the background you have them on as well.
how's the clinton library? maybe i should make it a mission when the pandemic is over, to visit all the existing presidential libraries. the pins are a treasure. do you wear them during july 4th?
I wish that level of patriotism was still here- maybe it will return as more restrictions and less protection takes place in the coming year. We'll see! In the meantime these are a nice reminder of the freedoms we have and how we can come together as Americans.
@summerfield the Clinton Library is stunning. It is large and very well done. They actually had a Chihuly exhibit when we were there, you would love it. I do wear my patriotic jewelry, not just on July 4, I wear it on Veteran’s Day and Memorial Day as well!
