Happy Veteran's Day


"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." - John Fitzgerald Kennedy "Reviewing the Troops"
by Jack Dawson
In honor of all our service people past and present, we thank you for all you do for us. The painting above is done by an artist we first discovered on our honeymoon in Gatlinburg. We found another print by him called "If My People" and we ended up buying it as our wedding gift to each other. It had a lot of meaning for us with the flag and Brandon's commitment to serve our country, the hidden image of the twin towers, the verse on it, and so many more. This other print is one that I would eventually like to add to our original piece. If you go to his website www.jackdawson.com you can take a look at it. His paintings have hidden images in them that all stand for something. Our hearts and minds are never far from the dangers that our service men and women face on a daily basis. In light of the recent events, please remember our troops and their families in your prayers.
