Thank you so much for the portrait of me. I was shocked at how wonderful it was, and what a fantastic portrait. My first response was how much I look like my Uncle John...I have always honored my Uncle John's service in Vietnam and saw him as a veteran. It means a great deal to all veterans that you are honoring them with your talent. Shane
