Memorial Day 2022
I see them in my mind’s eye, soldiers of every era of our country’s history. Warriors some with barely any uniform at all armed with muskets, others in every color of uniform from the sections of our history. Soldiers, whether born here, or those who’s hearts brought them here. Americans of every ethnicity and background came together because they believed in the idea of freedom. We honor all of our soldiers, both the names we know, and those unknown to us, yet never unknown to God. In every generation, there have been noble hearts who have stood to keep us free.

iPainting Nick’s Favorite Duck
It may seem strange, after all the sketches and paintings of ducks to include one of a child’s toy, but this is Nick’s favorite duck.
