OUR STORY
Ignite the Grain is a passionate endeavor that began in 2021 with a vision to honor the dedication and sacrifice of military personnel and first responders through personalized handmade plaques and gifts. Our focus lies in creating unique custom items that reflect the unique stories and experiences of each customer.
We take pride in our commitment to delivering exceptional, one-of-a-kind pieces that resonate with the recipients. We are driven by the desire to provide a platform for individuals to express gratitude and appreciation through our meticulously crafted products.
Our Values
A Military-Focused Small Business
We specialize exclusively in custom military plaques, awards, and recognition pieces for the United States Marine Corps, Army, Navy, and Air Force. Our focus allows us to understand the details that matter—rank structure, unit identity, official insignia, and proper formatting for military ceremonies.
Whether it’s a retirement, promotion, change of command, end-of-tour, or memorial, our plaques are crafted to meet the expectations of service members and military families.
Veteran-Owned. Woman-Operated. Purpose-Driven.
Our leadership reflects the values we serve. Being veteran-owned means we understand military culture firsthand. Being woman-operated means we bring precision, organization, and attention to detail into every part of our process.
As a small business, we take a personal approach to every order. You’re not just another transaction—you’re trusting us
with a meaningful moment, and we treat it that way.
Craftsmanship You Can Trust
We use high-quality materials and proven production methods to ensure every plaque meets our standards for durability and presentation. Each piece is reviewed for accuracy and quality before it leaves our shop.
From engraved names and ranks to carefully placed emblems, we take pride in delivering plaques that are worthy of display and remembrance.

Proudly Serving the Military Community
We are grateful for the opportunity to support service members, veterans, and military families across the country. Every plaque we create is a reflection of our respect for the men and women who defend our freedom.

Highly recommend! Great product, great price and shipping was quick (even with Christmas in the middle of order and arrival date). Will definitely buy again for future USMC going away gifts.

So impressed and will continue to order future rank ornaments. First one had some engraving that was a bit hard to read. Seller was amazing to work with us and remake ornament in a new font that looks stunning and perfect! Sons first year as an officer and can’t wait to gift him this.
