Six months ago it was just a logo…
But God had a bigger plan.
What started as support for one boy has become something much bigger than Gunner.
Six months ago we introduced the Gunner’s Journey logo.
At the time, it wasn’t meant to be anything big. It was simply a small way for friends and family to show support for Gunner during the St. Jude Walk.
Just a symbol that said…
“We’re with you.”
But what has happened since then is something we never could have imagined.
Because of all of you, that small symbol has grown into something far bigger than a logo. It has become a community of love, prayers, encouragement, and strength that continues to lift our family every single day.
Every message.
Every shirt worn.
Every prayer said.
Every person who has shared Gunner’s story.
You helped turn a simple logo into something powerful.
You helped create Gunner’s Army.
And the truth is… this was never really our movement.
This belongs to all of you who have stood beside Gunner.
From the very beginning, it has always been our hope that through whatever life throws at our son, his journey might somehow help others with disabilities around the world. Because of Gunner’s Army, we can now begin to see that hope starting to take shape.
What started as something small has already spread nationwide, with doctors, supporters, and even professional athletes proudly wearing Gunner’s shield.
But the shield was never meant to be about just one boy.
This is now the Gunner’s Journey Shield.
It represents faith, strength, perseverance, and standing together when life gets hard.
Anyone who wears the Gunner’s Journey Shield carries the support of Gunner’s Army with them. It’s a reminder that no one fights their battles alone.
As Gunner’s Journey has grown, we felt it was time for the logo to grow with it.
We want to be very clear about something though…
The original logo isn’t being replaced because we didn’t love it.
That original shield will always represent where this journey began.
The refined version simply reflects how much Gunner’s Army has grown and evolved over these past six months.
And for everyone who already has gear with the original logo…
That gear isn’t outdated.
In fact, it represents something incredibly important.
It shows that you were there at the beginning.
You helped build the foundation of what Gunner’s Army has now become.
Those who wear the original shield will always be recognized as the founding members of Gunner’s Army — the people who helped turn one boy’s story into a movement.
And through all of this, we give all the glory to God, because we truly believe He is guiding this journey and using Gunner’s story to touch hearts in ways we never could have planned.
So today, six months later, we simply want to say thank you.
And as a small way of showing our appreciation for the incredible love and support you’ve shown our family, we’re proud to introduce a refined version of the Gunner’s Journey Shield — a symbol that now represents not just Gunner, but everyone who has stood beside him along the way.
We will also soon be introducing a new shirt featuring the refined logo, with a Gunner-designed image on the back.
Stay tuned.
Because sometimes the strongest warriors are the ones who fight battles most people never see.
From the bottom of our hearts…
Thank you for walking this journey with us.
💙 Gunner’s Army Strong
💙 Let’s Shake FA
