My favorite charm is the Armed Forces Germany Beer Stein Charm. It is so beautifully designed with details of the Bierkrug that make them so symbolic of Germany! It is my favorite because Germany is where it all began for my family.

My parents met during WWII and went through many obstacles to be together and start their own family. Through that they created a legacy of love for family, dedication to the safety of those you love, pride in culture, service to community, and commitment to the betterment of people that will be passed down through generations. I am proud of my family’s history! Wearing this tiny symbol of where it all began makes me smile and keeps me humble.
