1Name
Writing the name or call sign (if applicable) or rank of the person receiving the dedication plaque is perfect. You make the plaque more personalized and unique that will make the receiver love to hang or display it in his or her room or office. It makes the person feels proud to have it. However, whenever you include the name you need to make sure that you observe proper capitalization, abbreviation, and spelling.
2Organization Name
If you’re giving the dedication plaque to an organization, then it is also great that you make them see their department, unit, battalion, troop, squadron, or team name engraved on the plaque. They will be glad if they can show it on their walls or podiums, so visitors will see it during events.
Like the names written for individual receivers, it should also be written correctly.
3Date
Dedication plaques can also come up with a date. If you’re giving the plaque as an award, then you can write the date of the recognition company. On the other hand, if it is a retirement and going away plaque, you can write the dates of service period. For memorial plaques, you can put the birthday and the date of death of the departed military men or women.
4Quote
Writing a perfect wording for your dedication plaques does not always mean that you need to add a message. Sometimes, a simple quote is already ideal. It can be the favorite phrase or motto of the recipient or the department’s slogan.
Here are the sample slogans of the military department:
- Air Force
- - Integrity First
- - Service Before Self
- - Excellence in All We Do (Unofficial)
- Marines
- - Semper Fi, Semper Fidelis (Always Faithful)
- - Once A Marine, Always a Marine
- - The Few, The Proud, The Marines
- Army
- - Army Strong
- - Army of One
- - Be all you can be
- Navy
- - Fair Winds and Following Seas
- - Honor, Courage, Commitment
- - Non-Sibi Sed Patriel (Not for self, but country)
- Coast Guard
- - Semper Paratus (Always Ready)
Plaque Guidelines
A meaningful dedication wording adds to the value and uniqueness of the plaque.
To come up with a simple yet remarkable wording is not as easy as it may seem. Your message needs to be sincere and truly made for the one you want to honor with the plaque and it doesn’t sound like you’re only doing it for the sake of giving a gift. The first thing you should consider is that the wording should be coming from your heart.
