ABOUT THE ARTIST
PUERTO RICO PSG
San Juan, Puerto Rico
The island of Puerto Rico’s political relationship with the United States has been a determining factor in the military history of both countries. Puerto Ricans fought for the U.S. in WW I, WW II, the Korean War, Vietnam, the Persian Gulf, Iraq, Afghanistan, and other armed conflicts post 9/11. Anytime they’ve participated, Puerto Ricans have stood out for their heroism and sacrifice, promoting the ideals of freedom and democracy to all parts of the world.
Despite our long history of serving, Puerto Rican veterans often feel forgotten, so we felt it was appropriate to write “I served my country, what did you do.” The design also features Castillo San Felipe del Morro in Old San Juan, a structure that has protected and defended the island since 1539.
