Your ProfileI am a retired Visual Arts educator from Moore County Schools in NC. I am a member of the Artists League of the Sandhills in Aberdeen, NC.

The Story Behind Your PaintingI feel "patriotism" is so well expressed in our "pledge of allegiance". "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." America is the most wonderful country on earth. We are blessed to call America our home with all the freedoms we enjoy. These boots are my son's well-worn boots and he proudly served his country for eight years. This artwork represents a thank you to all the men and women who proudly and diligently serve and protect our country.
