Military Metal Art, a veteran owned and operated company, transforms military insignia and custom insignia into stunningly custom pieces of art. This SOWW insignia was one such custom piece and stunning is the word to describe it!
Even more notably, Ret. Master Sergeant Leroy Arthur Petry, who served in company D, 2nd Ranger Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment and is the recipient of the Medal of Honor prominently signed the piece! He is only the second recent living recipient of the Medal of honor for the war in Afghanistan.
Master Sergeant Petry was deployed several times to both Iraq and Afghanistan. On his seventh deployment, Petry was a member of a team on a mission to capture a Taliban target in the Paktia Province. Despite being injured in both legs by gunfire, Petry continued to fight and give orders. When a grenade landed between him and two other soldiers, Petry grabbed the grenade and attempted to throw it away from them. He saved the soldiers lives, but lost his right hand. He opted to reenlist in spite of his injury and actively served until his retirement in July of 2014.
