My son is getting ready to deploy for the second time to Afghanistan. I would really like to get a deployment bracelet. I like the flat engraved ones (they can put unit, dates and a lot more), but he told me that they usually are reserved for KIA. I know that they are used for deployments as well, but the thought of that upsets my son. (I understand how he feels about it and agreed not to get that kind). I like the beaded ones as well that have the name and the Navy, flag and USA charms.
I am looking to buy some (or even barter). The ones that I found on the net are a little more than what I can do as I am looking to get one for me and possibly my daughter and his fiancee.
Can anyone on here make some that are cheaper than the $50 each I am finding???
TIA
