Product Description
This is a 12-inch commemorative wooden plaque dedicated to the veterans of the Iraq War. The plaque is made of two layers of wood. The base layer is a dark-stained wood, and the top layer is a lighter, natural-colored wood, creating a striking contrast.
The top layer features the words "IRAQ WAR" at the top and "I SERVED" at the bottom. In the center is a gear-like circular design with a stylized map of the world and a crosshair symbol over the word "TERRORISM." This central design is surrounded by a ring of text that reads "OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM" and "OPERATION NOBLE EAGLE." The entire plaque is bordered by a raised, rope-like design, and two stars are located on the left and right sides of the plaque, between the top and bottom text. The background, visible through the cutouts, features the American flag.
The plaque honors those who served in the Iraq War, which officially began with the 2003 invasion. The text "OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM" refers to the official name for the U.S. and its allies' military response to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States. This operation, launched on October 7, 2001, aimed to dismantle al-Qaeda and end the Taliban's rule in Afghanistan, which had provided sanctuary to the terrorist group. "OPERATION NOBLE EAGLE" refers to the U.S. military operation that was initiated immediately after the September 11 attacks to protect the U.S. homeland and secure its airspace.
This plaque is a meaningful way to honor the service and sacrifice of a U.S. veteran who served in the Iraq War and the broader War on Terror.
