A painting by Don Stivers called "Medal of Honor". I'm still not sure why this touches me, or who I identify with. The sergeant on the left grabbing the colors? The unfortunate Soldier who bore the guidon? The officer on the right? I've been all those things on my ride.
It's just a painting you can look into and feel so many emotions.
Cavalry! HO!
” Let me share a favorite of mine, a gift from Mrs. Kit during my Cavalry days.”

Mrs Kit did a nice job picking that for you. It is a very emotional painting. And I thank you for that. I spent some time researching the artist and that tiny bit of the battle.

Liked the Open Gate picture too!.... and that Medal of Honor is breath taking. Mrs KitJ did good! Thanks for sharing!
