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.
