Immortalized In Art...

Yesterday was Veteran's Day. A day to reflect, remember, and recognize those who have served America while wearing the uniform of a Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Marine, or Coast Guardsman.

I am actually the product of a military heritage. My father, and his father served during wartime. My wife shares a similar history. And now it is our turn...

And that brings me to some neat-o news. I was featured in one of my favorite online comic strips, "Electronic Tigers." A while back I won a contest from the comic's creators, and the prize was to be featured in a strip. My only request was that I be in uniform, and that my appearance would be a tribute to all who serve. SO...the strip artist and storyteller put me in their very special Veteran's Day strip. There is even a tribute in the comic to a world famous WWII photo of a sailor returning home featuring me and one of the comic's main characters. You can see it at:

Thanks to Mike (Hapajap) for his incredible work.

Vanessa started her time at WTU today. I'm very happy for her, now she can focus on herself, and her future, rather than worrying about people she's supposed to depend on, hurting her. Once again, thanks for all the prayers and well wishes.

I'm doing fine, and with only a few weeks to go, I'm anxious to get home.
