is a war hero who gave his life to save the lives of his fellow marines. Monument
etchings are always an emotional thing for me to do. I have two nephews in the
Army. While doing Jasons monument I had to stop a few times. I cried, I sank in
deep thought, I felt great pride...and I got stuck...I just couldn't do it and sat for
what felt like forever convincing myself I could keep etching. Then I
prayed.."Jason, help me out here, tell me I can do this" Less than 5 minutes later a
song came on the radio. "American Hero" I'll never, ever forget that moment. I got
back to work and completed the monument for Jason.
There are 3 men in my life who make me proud to be from this country. My father
(82), who was in ww2 in the navy and survived after his ship got hit, and Chad and
Cory...my nephews, my heros.

cold windy rainy day, out in the middle of
nowhere, in a corn field. There were 3, and I'll
never understand why, or how anyone could do
that to tiny frail little creatures who have no
chance to survive. If I hadn't picked them up, they
would have died for sure. They like to hang out
with me as I paint, and I'll be using them as
models for my paintings soon. Little did they
know they would be earning their keep!
