"Americans love to fight, traditionally. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle." what a great man, and great photo Dan. Thanks for sharing this. Only suggestion is to get less of the bottom and the top of the helmet with a little sky above it. Very Nice job.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son. Whoever puts his trust in God's Son will not be lost but will have life that lasts forever.

He was one of the wiser men of his generation not like those running the show from Pennsylvannia Ave. but a man on the front line of the war. Excellent bust of him and a terrificly clear image of him at a great angle, Dan.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes
