With the United States Veterans Day (Memorial Day in other countries) on November 11th, we need to remember that our American military is always performing peaceful missions around the world to guarantee our freedom.

Today, more than 170,000 men and women are currently serving in other countries.

On August 7, 1782, General George Washington ordered the production of the first "Military Meritorious Medal", the first military medal ever awarded. This is a medal for outstanding performance.

This is now described as the Purple Heart, which was the first Purple Heart given to General Douglas MacArthur on the 200th anniversary of Washington’s birth in 1932.

Various forms of jewelry were discovered in archaeological excavations dating back to 100,000 BC. These include shells, bones, stones and metals.

Do you remember the first piece of jewelry you received? Who has a mood ring from the 1970s? Do you use shells, rope or Indian beads to make necklaces?

We made love beads for your neck or forehead to convey the message of "love not war".

As Girl Scouts, we like to make things in my house, even friendship bracelets or camp rewards that everyone can have? Homemade crafts is the most interesting thing to make friends and celebrate the holidays. You can use beads, leather, stone or metal as gifts.

Every anniversary, the jewelry store will hand-craft a large number of medals, watches, royal jewelry, rings, and even pure gold and silver.

The discovery of gold and silver can be traced back to about 5,000 BC. The craft of artistic jewelry making is a combination of skills that the king and queen began.

Time measurement has existed for centuries. In ancient times, for centuries, people learned to follow the sun, calculate the lunar cycle, and use the sundial. Pocket watches were made into portable timepieces, which were used to keep railroads running when they settled in the United States.

The first watch was made in the 1400s by Peter Henlein, a German watchmaker.

Watches were very popular in the United States from the 1920s to 1935. Before World War II and then after the Great Depression, most department stores had a jewelry department.

There are many jewellery shops in downtown Flint, just like Krasner's. My Uncle Dale worked for him on Third Street for four years, and there are many stories to tell about the late Mott Krasner.

Many jewelry stores have sprung up, even department stores. Eastland Mall and Genesee Valley Mall flourished in the 1970s, opening jewellery stores such as Kay's, Zale's and JC Penney, to name a few.

Bob Gaines is a veteran who went to watchmaking school after the war. He moved his family to Flint and founded Gaines Jewelry on Flushing Road for $1,000 in 1963. The family store is still open today, but in a new location on Linden Road.

Watches are an important part of jewelry stores, such as Rolex and military watches, used for diving and flying, showing compass, pressure, etc.

I discovered the oldest jewelry store in the world, which is still open today. It started as a family business in 1613, called Mellerio dits Meller, and is still located in Paris, and is still making unique and stunning masterpieces. Enjoy the art of making jewelry.
