3. Preamble Bar Sign

Every bar needs a bar sign. For the patriotic veteran, look no further than one of our acacia wood bar signs depicting the Preamble. Are any words more important to an American than “we the people”? Hand-cut, carved and engraved by our master craftsmen of naturally smooth and beautifully variegated acacia wood, this bar sign is a lovely addition to any home. It hangs easily thanks to a built-in keyhole. This is one of the best gifts for Army vets that doesn’t include the Army emblem!

Here’s another fun option for your Army vet to hang on their wall. This Liberty Oxford pennant features a bold navy and white design with brass grommets in all four corners. Designed and manufactured in America with American materials for Americans, it’s another beautiful wall hanging to display your Army veteran’s dedication to the country. Made of wool felt in collaboration with Oxford Pennant.

Our master craftsmen hand-cut, carved and engraved this set of four coasters to protect your furnishings from damaging water stains. Not only that, they look great as they work!

12. Bullet-Shaped Whiskey Stones

A bullseye gift for Army veterans is one where form and function meet. These bullet-shaped whiskey stones aren’t just cool to look at – they’re also cool to the touch! Made to replace ice and fix the problem of watered-down drinks, these stainless steel whiskey stones just need a few hours in the freezer before they’re ready to get to work.

Army veterans know all about efficiency and space conservation. If your veteran lacks floor space for a bar cart, they’ll love this Murphy bar! A cabinet-style space-saving solution, the Murphy bar has multiple shelves and nooks for bottles, decanters, glassware, and bar tools. The door (which features a metal Army insignia) folds down to provide a bar top. When you’re finished mixing drinks, the door reattaches securely thanks to strong magnets.

The incredibly detailed engraving on this bar tray is unmatched! Sustainable acacia wood comes in a range of colors from light red to deep brown, so no two bar trays are the same. Your Army veteran will love using this tray to serve up drinks or to organize decanters and glassware in style.

16. Leather Koozie

One of the best gifts for Army vets is one they can take with them wherever they go. Our hand-tooled top-grain leather koozie is perfectly sized to slip into a back pocket, a backpack, a beach bag, and more: it’s always ready to party! The koozie is lined with neoprene to keep bottles and cans chilled while the leather will keep hands dry and warm.  Expertly made and embossed with the US Army insignia, it’s a great way to show off American pride.
