Where did you serve and what did you do?

Drafted Vietnam combat engineers, 69/70

How are you Still Serving?

I work with Ken Pridgeon, a 86 yr old Texas Artist who for the last 14 yrs paints Texas Fallen Warriors that died in Iraq and Afghanistan wars. He has a Gallery in Houston. He has painted the last 13 on one canvas. He also composed solos of all the 13, an 18×24 print of their Fallen Warrior and a print of the 13.

Why do you do it?

I met Ken 12 yrs ago. I was protested when I got back. I just told folks I’d been in prison. Now I help Ken so no Texas Fallen Warrior is forgotten. What a wonderful mission.
