A little late getting started on this year’s Lest We Forget piece, but better late than never!
I’m calling this one “After the Final Patrol.”
The idea behind this one is something I think a lot of veterans can relate to. We serve together, build friendships, and share experiences that stay with us forever. But as the years go by, some of those friends slowly fade from our lives. Some take a different path, some drift away, and sadly, some never make it to their destinations.
That’s what I wanted to capture with the fading soldier and the set of footprints heading off on their own. Not everyone we start the journey with is still beside us at the end.
Still some work left to do, but I’m pretty happy with how it’s coming together.
Now I’m looking for a little input! Once it’s finished, would you rather see this piece go up for auction or have tickets available for a chance to win it?
Let me know what you think!
