Absolutely amazing drawing, MK. I like the emotions you've drawn in and the honor and medals showing soldiers' sacrifice I like the background which shows why we go to war:)

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan
You have turned very sentimental/emotional this time. The joy of hitting a home run, or sucking a human blood is missing:):) but your stamp of high quality is evident here. This is a very meaningful and well painted artwork.Well done!

Bravo, I like this it reminds us of those who do the grunt work for our freedom, no matter what we have we owe it to the people who protect our borders and by doing so keep our principles of freedom safe from harm...great job

A very moving piece Mark and like all the elements you have added. The expressions on the faces and the tight embrace say it all. It all comes down to peace and love. Will we ever get it right. Good job, Kudos to you.

Comment from cynnocence
I have lived a very fortunate life, in that I've never had either parent and only one grandparent go to war. For this reason I could not imagine how difficult this would be to have your family so far away. My grandfather who did fight in WW 2, did not live long enough to meet his only grandchild. Thanks for sharing my friend. Cyn
