{"product_id":"gander-christmas-tree-metal-ornament","title":"Gander Christmas Tree Metal ornament","description":"This Christmas, remember Gander — he picked up a live grenade and ran toward the enemy so his soldiers could go home for Christmas instead of him.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nGander was a giant black Newfoundland who served as the unofficial mascot of the Royal Rifles of Canada during World War II. When Hong Kong fell to Japanese forces in December 1941, Gander repeatedly charged enemy soldiers to protect wounded troops, and in his final act, scooped up a live grenade thrown toward a group of injured men and carried it away, saving their lives at the cost of his own. In 2000, he was posthumously awarded the PDSA Dickin Medal, the animal equivalent of the Victoria Cross.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPersonalize your festive tree or home with these high-quality metal ornaments. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n• Material: metal aluminum\u003cbr\u003e\n• Sizes: Rectangle and Scalloped 3″ × 4″ (7.62 × 10.16 cm), Pet Paw 3.5″ x 3.75″ (8.89 × 9.53 cm), Tag 3″ x 5″ (7.62 × 12.7 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\n• Ornament thickness 0.04″ (1 mm)\u003cbr\u003e\n• Comes with a red ribbon and a hole to thread it through\u003cbr\u003e\n• Blank product sourced from China\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDisclaimer: This product is available in the US only.
