In <em>Lest We Forget: Masterpieces of Patriotic Jewelry and Military Decorations</em>, Judith Price illuminates iconic military objects, exploring their origins and documenting their place in history. The dramatic compilation of patriotic jewelry and decorations presented in Price's sixth book tells a truly dazzling story of Western historical conflict and resolution.</p> <p><em>Lest We Forget</em> serves as a stunning tribute to our men and women in service both past and present. This book derives its title from the poem "Recessional" by Rudyard Kipling, often used as a tribute in war memorials, while its contents chronicle our military history since the Revolution through 150 iconic artifacts. it showcases such diverse items as the George Washington Peace Medal given to the Indians, the earliest Medals of Honor, Civil War Corps badges, British military decorations, and historic French treasures. Drawn from leading private collections and world museums such as the British Museum, the West Point Museum, the Musée de l'Armée, and the Imperial War Museum, the objects depicted in this book movingly recall the role of decorations and jewelry in commemorating war and peace.</p> <center><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Lest-Forget-Masterpieces-Patriotic-Decorations/dp/1589796861/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1316553694&sr=8-1" target="_blank"><img src="/njiimages/order_amazon.jpg" /></a></center> </div> <br style="clear: both;" /> </div> </div> </div> </body> </html>
