We are the Mottas — a family forged in service, hard work, and caregiving. From the battlefields of WWII and Vietnam to the steel mills of Joliet and the farms of Southern Illinois, our family has always answered the call.
Caregiving is our through-line. Robert cared for Dad (Raymond) in his later years; Raymond and Robert both helped Uncle Jake; Raymond split time helping Uncle Louis. We keep their stories alive with photos, videos, and first-hand notes.
This gaming platform honors their legacy. Every camo pattern tells a story. Every rank earned reflects their values of service and dedication.
