For my veterans day pin, I wanted to take a unique approach. I wanted to not only make veterans feel appreciated, but I also wanted to connect my pin to the current U.S. Army. This is why I put the U.S. Army’s motto “This we’ll defend” on my pin. The US Army’s motto has been around since 1771 during the Revolutionary War, but I didn’t want to stop just at the motto. I also used the eagle and shield in my pin. The eagle represents freedom, and the shield in front of the eagle on my pin represents the willingness veterans have to protect the rights and freedom of Americans. Therefore, all in all, my pin represents the US Army, the freedom of America, and the willingness veterans have to protect freedom. I also put a simple message, “Thank you veterans” to thank all veterans for their valued service.
