Together, they salute the five branches of the United States military. Each Woodspirit has pickets in front of him to symbolize that he stands behind "De-Fense." They were created during the Persian Gulf crisis February of 1991. This gnome displays the yellow ribbon to say to those who serve their country, "We're thinking of you and want you to come home soon. Little G.I. is proudly displaying the Army emblem on his picket fence. G.I. has an Eisenhower silver dollar, honoring the last Army general to become president. The little acorn serves as his caisson to transport ammunition, for the official motto is "This We'll Defend." The oak leaf behind G.I. is the officers' grade insignia for lieutenant colonels and majors. His favorite song is…"The Army Goes Rolling Along" Figurine vtg sculpture Cairn Studios GI military award Approx 4" tall x 3" TAGS: Military, Woodspirits, armed forces, military branches, United States military, Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, pickets, defense, fence, Persian Gulf crisis,1991, patriotic, Continental Congress, 1775, enlisted 5138 G.I. - Retired 4/00/91 3/31/96 THOMAS F.
