“A soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.”
G.K. Chesterton
This project is dedicated to all of the men and women who are serving or have served in the military. To those that have not returned home and those that have but lost friends along the way. We hope this project will give you a starting point to create something that will honor the fallen and keep their memory alive so we will not forget their sacrifice.
We have designed a few neat features into this project that will make it even easier to use and reuse. These features include:
- Engraving plaque that accepts v-carving or even the addition of raised text.
- Engraving plaque has a flat bottom so it will accept almost any model and will also let you get the most "Z" depth out of the added model.
- The top dog tag is tilted and it's chain varies in height so you can easily tuck models under it or over it.
- Add v-carving to the dog tags for even more customization.
All of the opportunities we have today are because of those that have given their time and their lives to allow us the freedom to dream and make those dreams come true.
