A SHIELD OF FAITH
For Troubled Times

Santa Ana, Calif., - March 18, 2003 -- From war and terrorism, to concerns over unemployment and economic uncertainty, Americans are increasingly troubled by global and national conditions. Many are turning to God, praying for protection, and searching for inspirational products that comfort them and give them a sense of hope.

Bob Siemon Designs, the manufacturer of the WWJD? bracelet, has recently unveiled its newest product, the Shield of Faith. "Over the last couple of months people have been asking me to design a prayer reminder for spouses, siblings, parents, and loved ones to give to soldiers who are being deployed" said Bob Siemon, CEO of Bob Siemon Designs. "So I began designing the Shield of Faith to symbolize the protection that God gives us in troubled times such as these."

The solid pewter dog tag style pendant features a cross on the front with the Biblical verse from Joshua 1:9 inscribed on the back. The scripture verse reads, "Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." The pendant was designed to be worn by the person in the military and the lapel pin was intended for the person at home to remind them to pray for their loved one on a daily basis.

In the first two weeks since its release, the Shield of Faith has already sold more than 50,000 units. "There is a great need for God's protection" said Siemon, "and the Shield of Faith will help remind all Americans to pray and seek God."

Since announcing the release of the Shield of Faith, Bob Siemon Designs has heard from many retailers that they are also selling the Shield of Faith pendant and lapel pin as prayer reminders for travelers, police officers, and firefighters, as well as for those in the military.

Harleen Hayashi, Manager of Calvary Chapel Bookstore in Carlsbad, CA near Camp Pendleton said, "I have had a number of people come in looking for something to give their family members who are being deployed. Until recently, I was not sure what to give them. We brought in the Shield of Faith last week and have already sold half of them. They are a perfect gift for all Americans who are in search of comfort and protection in their daily lives."
