    Smile Veteran plauque

    I just finished this in time for Memorial Day! Pretty happy with the out come but as always would do somethings different if I was to do it again. Thanks to ( Jimmy for the inspiration and the help along the way) The easel was made by a local vet wood worker ( Jim W ) And Thanks to all the Veterans that have given so much! I plan on showing it at the VFW and American Legion Posts through out my county. An American Legion commander suggested that it be sent to the Sauk County Court House after that? Thanks for looking and have a safe Memorial Day~ Don

    Don - That is gorgeous!!! Thank you so much for honoring those who gave part of their lives to defend this great nation. It is an honor to be amongst that elite group.

    Looks great, I like the paint job. There is a signpainter here (Melissa?) who does great work also but that is just too meticulous(?) for me. I wish I could paint like that but my hands shake too much plus I suffer from lack of patience. Good Job!
