Like many World War II veterans, Bob Brown doesn't consider himself to be a hero. According to his hometown newspaper, the Vevay Reveille Enterprise: "...he sees his military service as a call to duty, a time of his life when he answered the call of his country and proudly served it."

Or, in Bob's own words: "You're just trying to do what they told you to do and do it to the best of your ability. That's all you can do. You got your orders on what to do and you did it."

For service to his country during World War II, Bob was honored with the Audie Murphy Award in Washington, DC. in 2011. These plaques were made to commemorate that event, and feature the story from his hometown newspaper.

Designer's Notes:

It would have been very easy to simply use the newspaper's story as it was, and send this plaque off to production. Much too easy, and rather bland. However, after reading Mr. Brown's first-hand account of his D-Day experience, and his other World War II memories, we knew Alumicolor™ was the perfect material for bringing his story to life. It allowed us to place scenes and graphics behind the article, enriching each reader's experience as this story unfolds for them. - Danielle

From coming ashore on Omaha Beach and scaling those cliffs, to some interesting memories from his military career, “little old Bob Brown from Indian Creek” had quite a story to tell. Read the text below, and learn what Bob shared with Pat Lanman for this article.

Cal was only 13 years old when he lost his battle with cancer. His legacy: He always cared about others above everything else. That's why his family formed a foundation to grant wishes and provide financial assistance to children fighting cancer. For more information, click this link:

Cal's family didn't have to include his photo on this memorial plaque. However, knowing how much he loved baseball, and how very helpful it would be for everyone to put a face with his name, they decided to include his full-color Little League portrait. Not only does this draw people in for a closer look, it also adds depth and character to Cal's story.

As you can see, the quality of Cal's photo is outstanding. Watch this video to discover the secret behind achieving this level of quality on your memorial plaque:

As I write this note on Christmas morning, I have to tell you: you have given us the best present of the year.

Sawyer's plaque arrived yesterday, on the anniversary of Sawyer's arrival and death. It was eerie, it was heartbreaking, it was uplifting... The plaque is so beautiful, it moved us all to tears. You have created the most perfect memorial we could have asked for, and the timing was incredible: we will be placing it today, on Christmas day.

I will never be able to fully express how much this means to us, but I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

This plaque's secret: It tells a story, but it doesn't look like it tells a story (in the long, boring sense of the word).

That's because, from your very first glance, it's colorful, it's professional, and it's inviting. Its very design makes you want to know more.

So you stop, you read it, and you discover everything Dr. Greenawalt and his Foot Levelers company meant to the chiropractic profession and their educational institutions.

Mission accomplished.

Designer's Notes:

One of the first things you notice about this plaque is how rich and colorful it is. Or, is it? Actually, only the logo adds color to the overall presentation, and only one main color was used - blue. Small, descrete touches of professionally-designed color like this can actually make a more professional impression than using color on the entire plaque. - Gary
