šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø Honoring Our Heroes: The Meaning of Veterans Day and How We Show Our Gratitude

Every November 11th, Americans come together to honor the courage, sacrifice, and dedication of those who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Veterans Day is more than just a date on the calendar—it’s a reminder of the men and women who have stood watch for freedom, both at home and abroad.

A Day of Reflection and Gratitude

Veterans Day began as Armistice Day, marking the end of World War I on November 11, 1918. In 1954, it was renamed Veterans Day to honor all who have served in the U.S. military—past, present, and future.

Unlike Memorial Day, which honors those who made the ultimate sacrifice, Veterans Day celebrates all service members who have worn the uniform and defended the values we hold dear. It’s a day to pause, reflect, and say two simple but powerful words: Thank you.

The Bulldog Spirit of Service šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡øšŸ¾

At BullyBelly, we feel a special connection to this day. As a veteran-owned business, we understand the dedication, courage, and loyalty that come with military service—values we also see reflected in our beloved bulldogs.

The proud founder of the BullyBelly family during her time in the U.S. Navy — service, strength, and bulldog spirit.

Our extended BullyBelly family includes proud service members across generations who’ve worn the uniform and stood ready to serve our nation.

And of course, our bulldogs—always loyal, always steadfast—have their own way of paying tribute.

Even our bulldogs show their patriotic pride—posing at the Marine Corps War Memorial to honor America’s heroes.

A Tribute in Metal: The Military Tribute Collection

To celebrate and honor America’s heroes, we created the Military Tribute Collection—a special line of handcrafted metal wall signs and flasks dedicated to the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard.

Each piece is laser-cut from durable steel, powder-coated for indoor or outdoor display, and made right here in the USA. Whether displayed in your home, office, or workshop, these designs are built to last—just like the courage and resilience of those who serve.

Our Military Tribute Flasks also make thoughtful, meaningful gifts for veterans, active-duty service members, and proud families who carry the spirit of service with them every day.
