Today, the BLM GROUP USA Team stands at attention this Memorial Day, saluting those who have fallen while serving. To respect their bravery and dedication, our applications team made a special piece to honor these military personnel.
The battlefield cross is a symbol that represents the military personnel’s sacrifice and their final rest. The boots at the base refer to their final march. The downward-facing weapon signifies that they fell while serving. Placed atop the weapon, the helmet represents the military personnel’s final duty and the end of their service. Made of four layers composed of brass, stainless steel, aluminum and copper, the layers give the piece depth in a way that makes the metal sheets truly take the shape of art.
“As much as we enjoy making these pieces, we take even more pride in doing so to honor those who have served our country,” says Chris Paetzke, sheet laser applications engineer. “This is a small way for us to show our appreciation and respect for those in mourning today.”
