Its What I Do For Our Troops
If you have ever read my profile then you know that I travel for our troops and troop families. Taking with me whatever skills I have and using them for them. Whether it is photobuttons, Photography, or Art Works it is my way of giving back to them. This Oil was made from a photo taken by me on Jan 01, 2004. It was burr-butt cold! Up at 4:30AM and then to the Flag Raising and PT Runs. Next was a short break and then the Basic Training Grad Day Events. All of the press and photographers were huddled like sardines in a tunnel walkway trying to keep out of the cold and very heavy January winds. Later that same year I was doing this again in temps of 104* and we were all begging for water just for some relief. I remember telling my son about the temps when he called during his deployment. He assured me that I would not want to trade places with him and his unit...it was 145* hot with 70+ lbs of Battle Rattle! All I could say was Bless You All For What You Do...For Our Many Freedoms. My work has never been about me, I like it that way, it's always about them. About their families and what they do. For all they do without for their love of Freedom. And later, at night, I did what all of The Blue Stars do...tried to sleep and prayed there would never be A Knock At The Door. And then I said a quiet Amen.
