Product: Keepsakes made from military uniform fabric
My name is Jennifer but you can call me Jen. I am the creator of the original, military uniform ornament ball.
My soldier and my first duty station together was Fort Drum, “Climb to Glory!” While there, I worked at the base alterations shop where I found myself inspired to re purpose old Army Uniforms in unique ways.
When the Army expired ACU’s in 2014, I didn’t want to give my husband’s uniforms to secondhand stores or throw them away so I created the military uniform ornament ball. After a year of private sales, the ornaments were added to my shop. Eventually it was time to PCS to Fort Bliss. It was then, that making these one of a kind ornaments became my full time passion.
After 22 years of service it was time for Sergeant First Class, Souza to retire! This wonderful man was a soldier his entire adult life and we were excited to start a new chapter bringing us back to our home state of Maine with my two daughters.
Mr. Souza is now a welder and I continue to create and provide exceptional customer service at Freedom Balls.
