American Soldier Tribute
Still on the road..... sure am anxious to get back to Northwestern PA some day. LOL In Grand Rapids MIchigan for a few days for a conference for the paying job. Was really excited when I got to my hotel and found out that it is right in the middle of an annual art contest called artprize. Art along every street and in every building. Took off with my camera for a couple hours. This piece was one of the most striking to me. It was made by a veteran of 30 years who is now an artist. It is an upside down American flag behind bars, with handcuffed hands ripping through the middle. He told me that it symbolizes the plight of the thousands of service men and women suffering from PTSD. Very emotional piece of art that you can tell the guy put his soul into. I praised him for his art, took a few pictures, shook his hand, thanked him and went on my way.
