Sublimation socks are a type of sock that features designs or patterns created using a sublimation printing process. Sublimation printing is a method that involves transferring dyes onto materials such as textiles using heat and pressure. Here's how sublimation socks work and some key aspects: Sublimation Printing Process : Sublimation printing involves the use of special dyes that sublimate, or transition directly from a solid to a gas, when exposed to heat and pressure. The design is first printed onto a special transfer paper using sublimation inks. The transfer paper is then placed onto the surface of the sock, and heat and pressure are applied using a heat press machine.

The History Behind The Purple Heart
The Badge for Military Merit
The original Purple Heart award was instituted
by George Washington in 1782 to reward troops for "unusual gallantry"
and "extraordinary fidelity and essential service." The award was a
purple cloth heart edged in silver braid, and was to be worn over the left
breast of the uniform. Only three awards are known to have been
issued, of which two are known to exist today.
While the award of the Purple Heart was not
authorized by the Navy until 1942, sailors and Marines who had been wounded
prior to 1932 were eligible to apply for the medal. While no numbers are
available concerning the award to Navy and Marine personnel, approximately
12,000 sailors and Marines were wounded between the Civil War and the Nicaragua
Campaign of 1932.
