"Every morning, just as the sun peeks over the horizon and fills my room with light, my Daddy starts his day. He’s not just any daddy–He’s a Marine and he is my hero.”

My Daddy, My Marine is a heartfelt tribute to the relationship between the men and women who serve as Marines in the United States Marine Corps, their children, and the sacrifices Marine families make. This beautifully illustrated book, from illustrator Krister Isip, offers a glimpse into the lives and realities of these families. The story is perfect for helping children understand and appreciate the important role their parents play and the sacrifices they make.

Told through the eyes of a child, My Daddy, My Marine brings to life the adventures, pride, sacrifices, and challenges that Marine families face every day. It's a wonderful way for families to connect and share in the pride of service.

 

About the Author: 

Matthew E. Miller is a Surface Warfare Officer in the U.S. Navy, originally from Frankfort, Kentucky, now residing in San Diego, California. His life revolves around his family, including his wife Jaclyn, an audiologist for active duty members, their two boys, Mason and Hayden, and their dog, Olivia.

Inspired by his son Mason, Matt wrote his first book, "Benny Backwards," in 2024. This success led to more writing, including "My Mommy, My SWO," explaining his role to his children. Encouraged by Jaclyn, Matt expanded into the "My Mommy, My Mommy" series, covering all military branches.

While working on these books, Matt and Jaclyn created the MY HERO project, inspired by Matt's 2020 deployment on the USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT when Mason was only one-month-old. Their company, UMBO, aims to foster connections and help military families bridge geographical gaps despite their demanding lifestyles.

The MY HERO Fund dedicates 5% of profits from My HERO Collection to purchasing prescription glasses for children of active-duty service members.

F.A.Q.

How does it work?

You can easily record audio using your phone, tablet, or any other device and send it home through text, email, or your preferred method. Once received, simply upload the audio onto the recorder, and your child can enjoy hearing your voice right inside the doll. Just press the belly, and the recording will play, creating a personal and comforting experience for your little one.

Is the clothing removable? Do you offer more clothing for the doll?

The short and simple answer is yes! We've already produced flight suits, along with blue and red coveralls, and flight deck jerseys—with even more designs on the way. Our goal is to offer a wide range of clothing options for your Hero dolls as we continue to grow. While we're just getting started, we appreciate your patience. The good news is that flight suits are already on the way and will be available for purchase very soon!

What about the patches...are they removable?

The patches on the doll easily detach thanks to their Velcro backing, and you can even create your own custom patches on our website to match your hero’s. We’ve partnered with CustomSticker.com to produce Velcro-backed PVC patches, allowing you to design and print high-quality stickers that fit perfectly on the patch. Pretty amazing, right? It wasn’t easy finding a company willing to make custom 1-inch stickers, but we did! Huge thanks to Ryan and Maren for making this possible!

Is the doll and clothing machine washable?

Yes, the doll is machine washable! Simply remove any electronic components and accessories, and your doll can be safely washed to keep it clean and fresh. Always follow the care instructions on our "about and instructions page" for the best results.

16 MB... How long is that?

With the current 16 MB of storage, you can record over an hour of audio directly into the doll. In fact, we tested it up to 1 hour and 23 minutes before stopping! Simply hold the recorder up to your phone and record directly into it. Trust us, the audio quality is incredible—it’s even louder and clearer than when you speak into it.

What is the warranty?

We stand behind the quality of all our products. If you encounter any issues with your doll, simply send us an email, and we’ll do everything we can to make it right. Your satisfaction is our priority!
