The Marine's Cross
12x8 White ash 13X8 standing
Semper Fidelis
There are now options for the Military Crosses! Original hanging open Stars. The New cross with flag-like stars and darker blue surrounding them. And.. now both can be ordered in standing versions. *all coins will be as shown on new cross with life-like stars. Other older coins were discontinued.
This cross is one the heaviest and most time consuming crosses I make. The edges are cove routed and finished with a Yellow Gold to match the United States Marine Shield that is embedded into the Valor Stripe. The three stars and stripes as always represent the Trinity. The cross is stained with custom oil colors and not painted. The finish is a three part process that can take up to three days once started. It is lacquer coated multiple times and is buffed a gloss sheen.
God Bless our Marines! Oohrah!

“From the Halls of Montezuma
To the shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country’s battles
On the land as on the sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title
Of United States Marine.Our flag’s unfurled to every breeze
From dawn to setting sun;
We have fought in ev’ry clime and place
Where we could take a gun;
In the snow of far-off Northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes;
You will find us always on the job
The United States MarinesHere’s health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve;
In many a strife we’ve fought for life
And never lost our nerve;
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven’s scenes;
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines.”
