[Former Military Chick]

Thanks for the bump. Have to tell you, each time I look at these, it is like the very first time. Just stunning talent.

[Former Military Chick]

Thrilled you enjoyed the thread. I have enjoyed researching the USDB, it was during that quest yesterday that I stumbled across these amazing works of art.

If you have time you might see what I have uncovered and all the amazing comments at Photo's: Historic United States Disciplinary Barracks (Ft. Leavenworth KS)Before and After

[Former Military Chick]

Glad you enjoyed the thread. It just occured to me, I would love to purchase a couple of these, would it not be something that these artist's could offer these and perhaps a portion go to the troops recovering from injuries suffered by the war.

Just a thought.

[EverOnward]

Wow. Thank you.

[silent_jonny]

Aren't these something?

Yes they are! I especially like the first four pictures, as well as "Street Fight" and "The Hizara Province". Just awesome.

[righttackle44]

These are amazing. Thanks for letting us
see them. It was a real treat.

[mystery-ak]

I don't know what to say, other than WOW....

[miele man]

I think you have a great idea. I would think that serveral of these paintings would be good sellers. The Honor Guard getting ready to fold the American flag might be one of them.

[Dante3]

Glad to.

A good thought.

You should contact the artist and see about it.

I was able to access the following art work by our troops, hope you enjoy their work as much as I have.

I have also enjoyed all the remarks on this thread, what a wonderful group of folks on FR, that I am proud to call my friends!- FMC
