Usually the person placing the order is in uniform or will show me their ID. Sometimes we get a FAX or email with a return address of the government or military. Right now we are doing plaques for Homeland Security and they give me a business card when the order is placed. I call to tell them when it is ready. As long as the plaque is along the lines of retirement or thank you I feel free to use the logo.</p> <p>Dee</p> <hr /><a name="a6614_8"></a><p><b>From: basehorawards</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6614.8">#8</a>]<br /> 13 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: Dee (DEENA-ONLY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6614.7">#7</a>] 13 Apr 2007</p> <p>Dee,</p> <p>That was where my thinking was headed in the beginning and since it is for a thank you plaque to grade school kids I am going ahead and using them. The customer is a veteran and they wrote poems of what veterans mean to them. How could they be upset with their insignia on a plaque thanking them for that? <br /> I had seen on the DOD website that they are trademarked and that spooked me as I have heard horror stories of businesses being shut down for unauthorized usage of trademarked images. I am finally to the breakeven point I don't want to loose it all for a $60 plaque.</p> <hr /><a name="a6614_9"></a><p><b>From: Dee (DEENA-ONLY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6614.9">#9</a>]<br /> 13 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: basehorawards</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6614.8">#8</a>] 13 Apr 2007</p> <p>Jim,<br /> I think you just have to use your common sense & not do anything that would seem deceitful.</p> <p>Last year I had a man ask me to engrave a well know logo on pieces of metal that would be affixed to pocketbooks. Duh. I don't think so!</p> <p>A few years ago while at home, we got a call from one of our employees saying that there was a man there who wanted her to engrave what appeared to be car ID plates with what appeared to be serial numbers. He had about 20 of these plates. I called the mall police sub station and they said she should start engraving until they got there. When 2 uniformed officers approached he dumped the done tags in a mall garbage can. When he dumped them the chain of evidence was broken and although they cuffed him & took him away there was nothing they could do. I didn't understand that as she could have testified he ordered them. Duh, car ID plates are stamped not engraved!</p> <p>Dee</p> <hr /><a name="a6614_10"></a><p><b>From: gt350ed</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6614.10">#10</a>]<br /> 13 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: Dee (DEENA-ONLY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6614.9">#9</a>] 13 Apr 2007</p> <div class="quotetext" id="quote"><b>quote: </b></div><div class="quote">Last year I had a man ask me to engrave a well know logo on pieces of metal that would be affixed to pocketbooks.
