• This acrylic desk plaque captures 12 American soldiers through different eras, each one standing tall as a testament to the courage and commitment of United States service members. From the resolute minutemen of the Revolutionary War to the modern soldiers of the 2020's, their stories are brought together in a rich tapestry of valor.

  Along the bottom, a timeline highlights pivotal moments in American military history, each illustrated by an important piece of equipment from that era. This print is not just art; it is an inspiration, urging us to remember the sacrifices made for our freedom and to honor the legacy of those who served.

On June 14, 1775, the U.S. Army was officially established by the Continental Congress. Within a few days, George Washington received his commission as “General and Commander in chief, of the army of the United Colonies, and all the forces now raised, or to be raised, by them…” From now on, the colonies had a united fighting force that represented all 13 of the British colonies in North America.

The National Archives preserves and protects Army records, including veterans’ service records, medical records, court-martial case files, strategic maps, thousands of photographs, and correspondence related to recipients of the Medal of Honor.
