The legacy

Trace it back
a generation.

Trace the line back a generation or two and it prints on the back of the card. Parents and grandparents. Four names, not forty. You write the relationship yourself, so a mother, a father, a stepfather or a grandmother all fit exactly as they are.

Three generations of one family standing shoulder to shoulder, a grandfather who served in Vietnam, a retired airman mother, and her daughter Three generations. Vietnam, then twenty four years, then hers.

It prints on the back of every card

Relationship, rank, branch and years. Not a hashtag. A record.

Straight up the line, four names

Parents and grandparents, the people they came from. Not brothers, not cousins, not uncles. Thirty names is a roster. Four is a bloodline, and it fits on the back of a card.

Nobody squeezes into our form

You type the word yourself. Mother. Grandad. Stepdad. Aunt who raised me. If it is true in your family it goes on the card.

And if nobody served before them

The card reads FIRST GENERATION. That is its own kind of proud and it is printed like it.

1Account, handed downWhen they are ready, the page becomes theirs. Same link, same photos, their name on it now.
0Chance of losing itIt is not on a phone, a hard drive, or a shelf in a closet. It is at an address that does not move.
Years it holdsTheir kids will open the same link and see the day their father graduated.

It does not stop at graduation

Hand it to them.
They keep it going.

You bought it. You own it. But the photos after graduation are on their phone, not yours. So they claim the page and carry it themselves.

1

You buy it

Graduation weekend. Your account, your page, your card set. Nothing changes that.

2

They claim it

There is one line at the bottom of their page. Is this you? They sign in, and you approve it. Nobody claims your kid but somebody you say is your kid.

3

They keep posting

Tech school. First duty station. The stripe. The homecoming. They add it from the barracks the day it happens.

4

The wall stays open

Family keeps writing on it for years. Every promotion brings people back to the same link.

Twenty years from now

Their kid gets a page too, and it links back to theirs, which links back to their grandfather's. Nobody else is building that.

Private when it needs to be

Anyone with the link, or family only. Deployment entries default to family only and the location is optional. We know exactly why that matters.

One link.
Three generations.

Start with graduation. The rest of it is waiting on the same page whenever you want it.
