From Soldier to Soldier

A Fashion Statement with a Conscience
The ‘From Soldier to Soldier’ bracelets are a stylish fashion statement with a conscience and a powerful fund-raiser in honor of our veterans. The bracelets are made in the USA and $20 from each sale is donated to Homes For Our Troops, and other organizations assisting wounded veterans and their families.
In the field, these bracelets are braided by the soldiers with parachute cord. They are known as survival bracelets, because they can be unraveled and the paracord can be used for many purposes in a pinch. They are also exchanged among soldiers as friendship bracelets. Often, a uniform button is sewn on and used as the clasp. The button clasp symbolizes the uniform. The clasped bracelet symbolizes the bond among the soldiers that can never be broken. To some, each knot in the bracelet symbolizes a fallen hero. The designer version carried at Denney Jewelers has a sterling silver clasp shaped like a uniform button and is tightly braided. Sterling silver and gold plated sterling silver heart clasps with a small diamond are also available. Special Edition versions with 14k gold clasps are available on request.
