A nice drawing of your Dad. Can see the pride in him and his service to our/his country. Great lines to show the pride he took in his uniform also, and the flag in the background gives it great Depth. The extra star is because of this pride he shows and your pride in him, sorry for your loss (know how it feels lost my Dad last year). HAGD my friend.

You deserve this MK, what an honor to have drawn your Dad! My Dad was also in that area in the Army and mostly the Philippine's! I bet you look just like him, I'm pretty sure. Excellent detail all around and shading with nice highlights drawn in! Very very nice job!

Semper Fi..... Cpl. Flood. Thank you for your service. and yes, Once a Marine, Always a Marine. I am sorry for your lose.. Goodness, What a full life, of giving to his Country, and to his community. A member of the greatest generation. Was he able to go to Washington DC on any of the Honor Flights in the past few years?

Very touching drawing of your Father, A Hero. A Marine.

Sorry you lost your precious Dad, so hard I know! But, boy do you have some priceless memories of him! You are blessed! You are quite an artist, I can tell! The face, which I love to do, is very nice, I wished was just a little darker to see better. But I do see it is excellent though! Detail in uniform is excellent! Fine Job! Thank you so much for sharing & your story! God Bless!

Your description is just lovely. What a handsome looking man. Your shading and tones are wonderful in this drawing. Great expression in his face. I'm sorry for your loss. It doesn't get easier let me tell you, just bearable.
