The pride that’s exuded by members of the military is second to none and it is also quite normal for the same personnel to have enormous amount of family pride. When I had the opportunity to work in places like Kuwait and Iraq with members of the United States Military and indeed the Allied Forces, it was very obvious to see this pride first hand, because the amount of soldiers wearing the family crest rings was quite staggering.
When I spoke to the soldiers as to why they wore the family crest rings, the answer was nearly always the same, that they wanted to show the pride they had in their name and family and in some cases they felt like it was a good luck charm. That their ancestors would watch over them when they entered the battlefield and would help the emerge safely.
