The 2024 Fox Nation Patriot Awards trophies are more than just awards; they're embodiments of American symbolism and a testament to the dedication of the father-son team behind their creation. Shane and Justis Henderson, founders of Metal Art of Wisconsin, have returned for a second year to design these prestigious accolades, incorporating elements that resonate deeply with the American spirit.

Each trophy is a work of art, crafted from 1.5-inch thick hard maple and featuring copper rivets symbolizing New York City's iconic bridges. A poignant addition is a stripe of hand-forged steel from the 9/11 site, donated by the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. The backdrop of each trophy showcases the New York City skyline, a nod to the awards ceremony's location this year.

The vibrant blue hue of the wood is achieved through a stabilization process, ensuring the color permeates the material completely. This meticulous detail was handled by Jeff O'Connor, a wounded combat veteran and owner of O'Connor Woodworking in Virginia.

For the Hendersons, crafting these trophies represents the fulfillment of the American Dream. Their journey began in 2013 with a handcrafted flag that unexpectedly went viral on Instagram. This spurred them to pursue their passion, transforming a hobby into a thriving business. Metal Art of Wisconsin has since shipped over 60,000 patriotic-themed products, from flags that convert into wall-mounted bars to their latest innovation, the "Chill Daddy" – a refrigerated flag.

The sixth annual Patriot Awards, hosted by Sean Hannity, will be held at the Tilles Center Concert Hall in New York and streamed live on FOX Nation. This year's ceremony will honor President-elect Donald Trump with the Patriot of the Year award.
