"The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war."

-General Douglas MacArthur

"A Life of Service"

Painted by Carmen Drake Gordon

GORDON_Rick's_Boots_2400px_sRGB my edit

This painting was created as a tribute for a dear friend, Thomas Richard Landreth, known to most as Ric.  The boots are his own.  A symbol of an elite group of soldiers.  The dog tags carried as a reminder of one’s possible death in battle. The eagle feather, the spirit of a fallen warrior. 

Prints of this painting will be printed on archival Signa Smooth 300gsm cotton rag.  For every $200 donation, you will receive a 20x25 print of this painting.  All donations will go to Ric’s family.
