My pin appreciates Veterans in many ways. The words Our Heroes tell the Veterans that many people appreciate their sacrifice. The colors red, white, and blue represent the American flag. The purple color represents the Military Order of the Purple Heart. This is a Veterans award given to Soldier’s that were injured or killed by enemy forces. The 11/11 represents the eleventh day of the eleventh month which is Veterans Day. Finally the Ohio shaped base shows where the Columbus Veterans Memorial is. The Purple Heart is on the general area of Columbus, Ohio. The National Veterans Memorial and Museum is located in Columbus, Ohio because the senator and World War 2 veteran John Glen pushed for it to be there. Also, former General Colin Powell dedicated it with a speech. This is how my pin appreciates Veterans in many ways
