First Class website and excellent display to honor those who have given so much. I pray the best success on your launch.
Congratulations, Don. Great idea and awesome site. Best wishes for success in this new project. Love, Dad
I have had The Living Patriot Prism in my home; in various surroundings both modern and traditional—in each room the Prism has a solid presence and communicates much more than Patriotism. It is a reminder of what it means for each of us to be an American, that we each have our own role to support our country in varying ways, and as such, it is a reminder that all of us are ‘patriots’.
Besides the gorgeous detail of the prism, the accurate reflection and refractions to light, and the overall concept of The Living Patriot—what initially impressed me was that the Prism was a piece of Art with a very special story attached to it.
The Living Patriot does not resemble the large boxed flag that typically adorns walls of Servicemen/women or their families. It is instead much like a bronze statue, as it is a focal point illuminating strength, stability and historic patriotism. I believe that The Living Patriot extends beyond representing Americans who have or are currently involved in traditional roles of protecting our country, symbolizing instead, each individual American. Regardless of how we serve our country—we are all patriots.
While not undervaluing the initial intention of The Living Patriot to honor those who are/have protected our country, nor the impact of our Servicemen and women above all others—I believe that each one of us supports and serves our country utilizing individual talents to create stability within America, while helping to further develop the USA’s growing presence as a global economic leader. Since we are all ‘patriots’ in our own way—every home and office should display their ‘patriotism’ by owning and displaying The Living Patriot. We proudly hang our American Flag outside our homes and schools–now with The Living Patriot we all have an opportunity to showcase our Patriotism inside our homes, schools and offices—to honor all of those who are making our Country stronger.
“What Those Who Serve Deserve” — The Living Patriot can truly be used as a symbol of “making a difference in America”, regardless of whether you are:
• Protecting our country in War
• Serving our country as a Police Officer, Fireman or EMT
• Involved in a career that is rebuilding our U.S. Financial System
• Involved in a career that is stabilizing the U.S. Manufacturing and Labor industries
• A laborer on an automobile line—supporting the rebuilding of the American Auto Industry
• A teacher—supporting the education of young minds
• A recent graduate—with young ideas and bountiful opportunities to ‘create change’ that will strengthen the global economic presence of the USA
• A coal miner, an oil well operator, a solar architect–supporting the development and strength of energy efficiency within the USA
• A scientist or medical professional–supporting healthcare and scientific developments that will benefit our country’s future
• A Politician, Government Official, Lawyer, Judge, County Clerk–all with a focus on supporting our legal system–the backbone of our country.
• The corner hot dog stand vendor who supports the American Dream—and the list goes on and on…….
While not having had any immediate family member involved in Service—I am planning on giving The Living Patriot to each of my three sons, as they will soon graduate from college. The Living Patriot they receive will indeed have a special story attached to it: “a story reminding them of those who have contributed to the security of their bright future as an American, and the resulting responsibility placed upon them to contribute, to make changes, and to make a difference in the World through their individual talents and efforts. A simple reminder of the Honor it is to be an American”.
wow – this is so cool – a very neat project and I’m so excited I can claim you guys as cousins-in-laws! What a bright and talented couple – and you do everything with such class, thoroughness, quality and integrity. Not only are you offering a product that honors those serving in the military and their families, but your whole business model is designed to be part of that support system also – from charity donations to employment. I was surprised how much I was moved by this and I am spreading the word to everyone I know!
Great idea!

Our salute of respect for the development of a wonderful site. As you develop other products your business will thrive. You have done something that will be appreciated and treasured by all.
From across the waters you are noticed.

These Prisms are beautiful!! I just pre-ordered three. One for myself, one for my friend, a fire battalion chief at our local firehouse and the other for my sister in the Marine Corps. What a great product and a super idea to use all of the material to make additional, smaller Prisms to be gifted to wounded soldiers as a way to say “thank you for your service.” Even the smallest Prism that is gifted to youth groups is a great way to educate them about patriotism and to inspire them to honor those who have fought for, and are currently fighting for, our liberty and freedoms that we enjoy every day. I have sent the web link to all of my friends and family !!! Thanks !!!
I just saw a piece on the CBS 10 o’clock news about your prisms. What a great idea…and they look good, too. I wish you much success in your business venture!

Great product – it made for a cherished gift for the biggest donors in our charity. It is a great cause, but also a great product. Highly recommended! Keep up the great work!
These are really beautiful and a great project. I hope we are able to work something out for the gold star banners.

Thank you for all you do and for your service! I have passed your website along to all my Patriotic friends. I am a VFW officer, a Patriot Guard member and I am friends with Blue Star Mom’s so hopefully they will check this out. I am interested in learning more about the Original 1776 and even though I don’t have a computer at home, I plan to read up on the comments/guest book as often as I can.
As a retired disabled Paramedic this a great to HONOR EMS, Fire Rescue, Law Enforcement , and Military Personel everywhere!!
I truely believe what you are doing is a really great way to show our service men & women what Amercia is all about…being behind them and honoring them with a way to display our flag. In todays world we find so few willing to take time to do this. I have always been one to show pride in our country….but never more so since my son was sent overseas to fight for our country. May we never forget all that these men & women do for us, for freedon is not free but bought with a price. God Bless You.
Don, great job with all the work you’ve done. Many blessings to you, your family and your work!
I have been a member with Soldiers Angels for 5 years now and have recently joined up with Patriot Guard Riders. I feel there is never enough that I can possibly do for our troops. It is wonderful what you are doing for them. I love your website and enjoy all your posts on Facebook.
Keep up the great work you do.
God Bless you.
As a current member of our armed forces serving in Iraq, it is an honor and a privlege to be associated with a group like living patriot. Everything they do is for an excellent cause. The idea of the prism for holding the flag to be displayed in such a manner is awesome. Thank you living patriot.
Thanks for your commitment.
God bless America and also bless those who fight to keep us free! Remember those that have given their lives in the fight.May they rest in Peace.
And remember to thank our valient troops for their service!!
I am a Gold Star Mom, honoring my son SPC Christopher G. Patton KIA 9-01-2007. I recently discovered your site and have been blessed by reading what others have written. Thank you for this website. Praying for the USA and our great military.
I am a disabled military veteran and I have served in the middle when 9-11 took place. That day has changed me for the rest of my life. I have an American flag that was flown for me on a bombing mission over Iraq. I have it on a wall in a zip lock bag. I was just informed on the new prizm case for the my flag that served in Iraqi airspace. When I came home and found that there are people who would hug me and say thank you. I found peace in my broken soul due to watching our towers fall and people jumping to their deaths. Thank you America for allowing to me to serve a wonderful nation. God bless all who have severed and those who gave their lives to defend our country. I will always be a soldier till my last day on earth. Thank you
