We are thrilled to announce our 2026 Naples Area Patriot of the Year, Robert Scott “Scotty!"🎉

Scotty is a 100% service-connected disabled Veteran after being crushed between two military vehicles while on active duty. After battling PTSD and nearly becoming part of the “22 a Day,” Scotty made a life-changing decision — to become part of the solution rather than part of the problem. Mental health became a central focus of his mission, and he now dedicates himself to helping others confront and overcome PTSD.

When his best friend, Shawn Bertholf, shared his vision of honoring America's Veterans by transforming retired am******on cans into meaningful Honor Boxes, Scotty answered the call and helped bring Honor Box Studios to life.👏

Today, as CEO and master craftsman, Scotty personally designs and handcrafts every Honor Box, ensuring each one is created with pride, purpose, and the utmost respect for those who have served our nation. His work has honored military heroes, retirees, Veterans, community leaders, and organizations through one-of-a-kind creations, including custom pieces commemorating America's 250th anniversary, retired Navy SEALs, Chief Warrant Officer Nick Lavery, and Veteran National Social Media Award recipient Earl Granville.

Every Honor Box tells a story of service, sacrifice, leadership, and legacy—creating a lasting tribute that will be treasured for generations.🤝

Join us in Naples this fall to honor Scotty at the 6th Annual Stars & Stripes Gala. To buy tickets, view sponsorship opportunities, or learn more, visit VHI2026.givesmart.com.

Today, on Purple Heart Day, Honor Box Studios pauses to honor the brave men and women who were wounded or gave their lives in service to our country. 💜

The Purple Heart is more than a medal.

Behind every Purple Heart is a person.
A family.
A sacrifice.
A story that deserves to be remembered.

Some of those stories are told through photographs and uniforms. Others live within medals, patches, letters, and treasured pieces that families have held onto for generations.

At Honor Box Studios, we understand that preserving these pieces means preserving a part of someone’s life, service, and legacy.

Today, we especially honor our Purple Heart recipients, the families who walked beside them through recovery, and the Gold Star families who continue carrying the memory of those who never made it home.

Your sacrifice is not forgotten.
Your story matters.
Your legacy deserves to live on.

💜 Honor. Remember. Preserve.

Military keepsakes tell only part of the story unless families also preserve the meaning behind them.

A photograph may show where someone served—but does the family know who is standing beside them?

A medal may represent extraordinary service—but does anyone know when or why it was awarded?

A patch, coin, letter, or set of orders may seem like a small item today, but it could become one of the most meaningful pieces of a family’s history.

Here are five things military families should begin preserving:

• Photographs with names, dates, and locations
• Medals, ribbons, badges, and their meanings
• Unit patches, challenge coins, and insignia
• Letters, journals, certificates, and important orders
• The veteran’s own words and personal stories

Do not wait until someone else must piece the story together.

Ask the questions. Write down the answers. Preserve the history.

Military keepsakes are rarely just objects.

A set of dog tags may represent a deployment.
A patch may carry the memory of an entire unit.
A folded flag may represent a lifetime of service.
A photograph may preserve a story that was never fully told.

What military item carries the greatest meaning or story in your family?

Tell us about it in the comments. Your answer may also encourage another veteran or family member to begin documenting the stories behind the items they have been protecting for years.

Because preserving the object is important—but preserving the story behind it matters even more.

Every Honor Box begins with a story.

A story of service.
A story of sacrifice.
A story of leadership, courage, family, and legacy.

What may begin as a decommissioned military container is transformed into something deeply personal—a handcrafted piece designed to preserve the moments, memories, and accomplishments that should never be forgotten.

Because medals can be placed in drawers. Photographs can become faded. Uniforms can be packed away. But the stories behind them deserve to remain visible for generations to come.

At Honor Box Studios, we are not simply creating recognition pieces. We are helping families, organizations, and communities honor the lives and legacies behind them.

Every box has a story.

Whose story would you preserve?
