The use of belt buckles has practically become a necessity in the world of fashion. Not only do they serve the purpose of keeping our belts secure, they now come in different shapes, sizes, colors, materials, and designs to add just the right touch of character to your outfit. An impressive belt buckle is sure to draw attention to you despite donning a very simple outfit.
One fad in the production of belt buckles these days is the growing popularity of military buckles. It used to be that they are only used by military men to signify rank or merely serve as decoration. Military belt buckles are now available at the market for everyone to purchase, even girls. Wearing military belt buckles could also be seen as a way of expressing your support and pride for the American soldiers and their patriotism.
What's good about belt buckles is that they are mostly lightweight and easily adjustable. They could either be chrome or brass plated and black or open-faced. Military belt buckles make a good investment, too. The high-quality made could last for years, making them an ideal gift item for the men and women of your life as well. They are also made using silver, plastic, gold, and silver.
Among the most popular military or military-related belt buckle designs include the American flag and the American eagle. These are easy to find in online stores and shops in your location. The American flag has been rendered in several interesting versions you would not have difficulty picking something you like. The designs are rendered in bronze, pewter, stainless steel, and sometimes added with diamond studs and rhinestones. The same goes for the American eagle, the national emblem, of the United States.
There are buckles members of different military units. On "Militarybuckles", we spotted handmade military belt buckles denoting various ranks in the military from the Air Force, the Army, the Navy, the Marines, and the Coast Guard. They are sold at a reasonable price of barely USD25 each. This is a pretty good bargain considering that the items are given a lifetime guarantee of craftsmanship. The products come with a lifetime warranty, meaning that if yours get broken, you could take it back to the manufacturers to be repaired for free.
Once you decide on buying military belt buckles, it would not be hard at all because there are virtually hundreds of choices. On eBay alone, we spotted a handful of gems such as a Vintage US Military belt buckle, a Persian Gulf War Commemorative, a Moldova Army belt buckle, buckles in the shape of grenades and parachutes, among several other fascinating finds.
There are also buckles depicting emblems like the interesting US Army Emblem Military Flag in Pewter, which we simply found awesome. Belt buckles in the shape of ammunition also caught our eyes. There is a B687 Revolver Firearm Pistol Gun Handgun Belt Buckle and a golden B641G Military AK-47 Rifle War Gun Belt Buckle. The choices are endless.
It would be wise though to wear military belt buckles with much pride and respect. Remember that at some point in history, they were worn only by those who deserve to be called patriots.

Pearl Harbor - 60th Anniversary Commemorative Edition (DVD) $24.32 Director Michael Bay (ARMAGEDDON, THE ROCK) uses a tragic romantic triangle to set the stage for the infamous Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in this epic tale of love, loss, and patriotism. When Evelyn (Kate Beckinsale), a beautiful Navy nurse, meets dashing ace Army fighter pilot Rafe (Ben Affleck), the two fall madly in love, only to be separated abruptly when he is called upon to help fight the war in Europe. Unforeseen circumstances lead Evelyn into the arms of Danny (Josh Hartnett), another fighter pilot and Rafe's best friend since childhood. In the meantime, the Japanese military is planning the surprise early morning raid on Hawaii that will pull the United States into World War II. Spectacular special effects vividly recreate the attack in devastating detail as bombs explode, torpedoes shoot through the water, and bullets fly, shaking tranquil Pearl Harbor to its core. Bay deftly captures the patriotism and the loss of innocence of the young men and women who were suddenly thrust into the war. Cuba Gooding, Jr., Jon Voight, Alec Baldwin and Mako also star in this tribute to both the fallen and the survivors of one of the most horrific tragedies ever to occur on American soil. |

Organizing for War $24.95 By the end of the Franco-Prussian War (1870–71), Germany occupied one-third of French territory, thousands of Alsatians and Lorrainers had flooded into France, and 140,000 French soldiers had died. France’s crushing defeat in the most significant European armed conflict between the Napoleonic wars and World War I cast long shadows over military garrisons, meeting halls, and kitchen tables throughout the nation. Until now, no study has adequately addressed the complex, lasting effects of the war on the lives of ordinary French men and women. In this stimulating new book, Rachel Chrastil provides a lively history of French provincial citizens after the Franco-Prussian War as they came to terms with defeat and began to prepare themselves for a seemingly inevitable future conflict. Chrastil provides the first examination of the problems facing provincial France following the war and the negotiations between the state and citizen organizations over the best ways to resolve these issues. She also reinterprets postwar commemorative practices as an aspect of civil society, rather than as an issue of collective memory. By the 1880s, Chrastil shows, the Franco-Prussian War had receded far enough into the past for French citizens to reassess their roles during the war and reorient themselves toward the future. Believing that they had failed in their duties during the Franco-Prussian War, many French men and women argued that citizens could and should take responsibility for the nation’s war effort, even before hostilities began. To this end, they joined the Red Cross, gymnastics clubs, and commemorative organizations like the Souvenir Français, especially in areas of the country that had faced occupation and that anticipated future invasion. Using extensive archival and published sources, Chrastil deftly traces the evolution of these private or semiprivate associations and the ways in which those associations affected the relationship of citizens with the French state. Through a novel interpretation of these civilian groups, Chrastil asserts that the associations encouraged French citizens to accept and even to prolong World War I. |
