The military and patriotism often go hand in hand, and this is the case for many of our military themed belt buckles. Some, with a direct military theme, display in pewter and enamel all the seals for the armed forces, including the navy, marines, air force, and army. Others have war themes, such as grenade-shaped buckles designed from pewter. The majority, however, combine American pride with military efforts to create a design based upon valuing and protecting everything American. As many of these patriotic and military belt buckles display the American flag, as well as the rebel one for Southern pride, red, white, and blue enamel is used on many of them.
