Students Paint Mural in Honor of Veterans

Local students from the Aransas Pass High School Art Club paint a mural in honor of Veterans.

The idea for the mural came from my mother (the lady in the video). She did a lot of leg work to get this project going to make something good out of "that ugly wall".
