That is a lovely piece of jewelry. My wish is that everyone takes a moment to honor the people in their lives that make/have made sacrifices each and every day to make their lives better. This hero in your personal life is the equivalent of the soldier that is the hero in our national life. Thanks too all the heros in our world - personal and military alike.
