The Freedom Eagle revisited 4-15-2011

I would like to thank everyone that has visited the wall and remembered what our troops have fought so hard for....Freedom.


Last week I had a visitor at the studio that was from MI. He had been in a van accident and was staying in Hamilton while his vehicle was being repaired. He is a Vietnam Vet and is traveling around with his bucket list of sorts. He was a fascinating man with a wealth of information. His stay was extended due to the repairs and he took in all he could in our town. His attitude was inspiring. Not angry of his accident, nor being stuck in a unfamiliar surrounding. I could only hope my attitude would have been the same. He seen the Indian mounds, Jerry Browns Studio, a gunsmith (don't recall his name), Organic Vessels Studio, and the murals in Guin. He left a cd of his photos on his way out of town. The following ......courtesy of Chuck Hanners.



I wish safe travels to me new friend Chuck. Thank you so much for sharing.



Since the Murals completion, I have received numerous photos of individual in front of the mural. Several of those photos have themselves positioned in front with their arms spread out like the eagle. Each touches my heart so much. The wall is for everyone and I am so honored to have been able to design it.
