Serving Our Country: Honoring Our Family

Throughout history, countless brave individuals have selflessly served our country, defending our freedoms and protecting our way of life. As a result, they have earned our utmost respect and admiration. In my own family, several members have answered the call of duty, inspiring me with their courage and dedication.

One individual who particularly stands out is my twin brother. Following in the footsteps of our family’s proud tradition, he made the decision to join the army right after high school, alongside his best friend. Their commitment to serving our nation exemplifies the values instilled in us by our family.

A Heartfelt Tribute: The Purple Heart

While my brother was bravely serving in the army, I found myself exploring the world of 3D printing and experimenting with various designs. It was during this time that an idea struck me – to create a replica of the Purple Heart, a symbol of honor and sacrifice awarded to those wounded or killed in action.

Curious about my brother’s thoughts on this project, I reached out to him. He not only supported the idea but also believed it would be a meaningful gift for his children. Encouraged by his enthusiasm, I embarked on this endeavor, eager to see how it would unfold.

Join Me on this Journey

Throughout this blog series, I will document my progress as I attempt to bring this heartfelt tribute to life. From the initial design phase to the final product, I will share my experiences, challenges, and triumphs. Join me as I navigate the world of 3D printing and strive to create a worthy representation of the Purple Heart.

Together, let us honor the sacrifices made by our brave family members and all those who have served our country with unwavering dedication.
