Artwork and lettering

The centerpiece is a soldier in full field gear, drawn in clean black and white lines, standing ready at attention. Behind the figure stretches a stylized flag with purple and white horizontal stripes and white stars arranged in the canton, a nod to the colors that honor military service. The words "Raised by a Hero" sit in large, distressed white letters above, while "Veteran's Son" anchors the bottom in the same weathered style. The flag elements break up the lettering and frame the soldier, tying the visual together as a single statement of military identity and family pride.
