Blue Is The New Black

...the never-ending, ever-growing collection of "unit gear." If you're a military spouse, you probably know what I'm referring to. The burn-out ts, the zip up hoodies, the hats, the tank tops, the GI Jane Day shirts...we could fill a drawer with our gear from each unit we move to and have moved from. While we are at our current duty station, the unit crest is often displayed on a sweatshirt for all to see. It is a clear statement of pride, a uniting symbol that many are proud to show off. Maybe you wear your old unit's tank top cleaning the house or to the gym, but most of us are out with the old, and in with the new. As a military family member, we are a true, Blue Star Sisterhood. We are wives, sisters, daughters, mothers...we are constantly looking for the best ways to display our pride (with a touch of style).

The Blue Star Grace collection from United Grace is a gorgeous, uniting symbol for the families of our men and women in uniform. Even greater than a unit symbol or crest, the Blue Star Grace collection unites ALL of us...from every single military installation across the country and world. It unites every single family member of those serving in the Armed Forces...it is greater than one place...it is a tiny piece of unity, reminding us we are all in this life, together. When you see someone wearing a Blue Star Grace pendant or earrings, you will know you are standing next to someone else with a story. A story like yours, yet different. The same moves, the same deployments, the same friendships, the same loves, the same loss....these things are the same, but the stories are all so different. What an amazing bond we all have. It is unlike anything else. It is a True Blue Bond. We know the same strengths, the ups and downs, the changes, the new possibilities...we know how to adapt....and, mostly...

...we realize Blue is the New Black.

Wear your Blue Star Grace piece with pride; the story behind the pendant is a grand one. And know, when you see another Blue Star Grace piece, you have a deep and real connection with the person behind the pendant.
