Veterans appreciation medal

My pin is a mash up of all 6 branches acknowledging that the Air force, Coast guard, Army, Navy, Marine corps and Space force veterans all served for our country. Now to describing my pin starting with the eagle it stands for a symbol of power and authority. Adding on I also chose to make It yellow referring to the binding ties between loved ones separated by military conflict or long distances. Second the two American shields you may recognize from the Navy and Army logo represent the country's reliance on its own virtues. Lastly for my pins symbolism is the two different colors on the shields, red is for the acronym R.E.D which means Remember Everyone Deployed and the blue stands for vigilance, perseverance, and justice.
