This 1 1-4" patriotic pin was made by Coro (founded 1901) during WW2, with eagle, shield & flag emblem, and the words Son in Service (others were made incl husband and sweetheart in service). Made of sterling silver vermeil aka gold wash, marked Coro Sterling pat pend on back
Sending out Vets Day thoughts for all who served and their families
Great Veterans Day post/Irene. I salute all that served and their families also.
Coro made some fantastic WW2 sweetheart items. Love your pin.

Really nice to see a medal like this- Where I live, WW1 is very heavily commemorated all this week. We have WW1 medals and 'sweetheart' pieces in our family from my grandmother- must upload them at some stage.....
Ditto what Lauren said. Watched a documentary about The Vinyl Ridge Battle last night. Terrible time but must not be forgotten. No more survivors of WW1 left to tell the story.
Vimy ridge.
Neat piece!
Thanks Toyrebel for the kind words and agreement about saluting our vets, it's nice there is a day to honor what they meant to us, we can never thank them enough
Scott I'm so pleased you got to see this Coro pin as I knew you would appreciate it, with your wonderful military expertise and fabulous collection, thanks so much for the compliment
Lauren I sure hope to see your sweetheart pieces in future posts, that would be great! Sounds like you have some super war celebrations going on, I love when they show the old planes & uniforms - enjoy! Always appreciate your lovely comment
Wow Roy that sounds like a super documentary, will have to look for it - you know we get a lot of Canadian docs here, I esp like to watch that show Air Disasters it's excellent. I know it's sad, no survivors left from WW1, and precious few who are super old from WW2, even from my dad's time in Korea. That's why the documentaries are so great, right. Thanks for the great comment my friend
Glad you enjoyed this MrsT and really appreciate the kind compliment
A salute to you all for the generous patriotic love
