This is the gift veterans actually want.
A map that isnโt decoration.
A map that becomes a legacy.
A map that captures every duty station, every deployment, every chapter of the story that shaped a life of service.
The DTS Map is built for veterans and military families who want their journey honored, preserved, and remembered. Every pin marks a moment. Every detail carries meaning. Itโs the kind of gift that stops someone in their tracks because it reflects who they are and what theyโve lived through.
Why it stands out:
โข Over one hundred global military base locations
โข Personalized service dates, locations, and details
โข Space for rank, awards, badges, and unit logos
โข Museum grade print and frame options
โข Branch-specific editions designed for each service
โข Custom proofs so every map is unique
Ordering is simple.

And this season, if you want to go one step further in honoring the community that carried the quiet burdens and the heavy missions, we invite you to stand with us.

Give a gift that honors a life of service.
Bring the story home.

Meet CORGARD.
Half German Shepherd. Half Corgi. All heart.
A little pup trying to find his courage in a world that feels a little too bigโฆ inspired by the families who serve, sacrifice, and keep the home front strong.
Iโve been building this story with my kids for a long time. Now itโs finally becoming a childrenโs book series launching early 2026.
If you want to be part of this from Day One, you can support it now.
Choose your path:
โข Buy the book early for $20
โข Reserve your copy for $5 or $1
โข Or jump on the mailing list
Every bit of support helps us bring CORGARD to life, and a portion of all proceeds will go right back to supporting our military and first responder communities.
The mission is simple.
Build courage. Build family. Build community.
One story at a time.

Tomorrow , The Smoke Pit comes alive and this one is packed from the start.
At 3pm the Service Exchange opens and the entire place becomes a full community hub. Veteran and first responder owned businesses will be set up. Families will be out. Live music will carry through the afternoon. Outdoor activities will be running all day. This is where people meet, shop, talk, laugh and actually connect.
At 7pm, you will also hear from guest speakers who have lived the real thing. Officers from the intelligence community. Special Operations veterans. Navy SEALs. Law enforcement leaders. People with stories and lessons that do not show up in textbooks.
Also, we are teaming up with for a live demo that shows veterans can absolutely get their dance on, move, reconnect and enjoy music and art during their downtime.
A portion of every sale tomorrow will go directly to to support the Special Operations community.

Last time we nearly sold one hundred tickets and hundreds more showed up at the brewery. This round is already trending even stronger.
If you are a vendor, be there. If you are a supporter, bring your people. If this is your first time, tomorrow is the day to see what it looks like when a community truly shows up for each other.
