No Man Left Behind

Got this finished and got it entered in the Orange Country fair in Southern Calif. this year.  This is a cutting of a  statute down in Camp Pendleton Calif at the Marine base there.  You can look up the details on line but it is about 2 soldiers helping a wondered third one out of a house in the middle of house to house fighting in Fallouji.  The stature was created after a photo of this was published.

Big thanks goes to Don at Old Crow Scroll works who created the pattern for me.  What a great job he did.  I asked for help after I read the story and felt that a wood cutting of this would be a real nice way to help remember this action by all 3 Marines.

Hope you all enjoy it, I am really pleased with it myself.

Great job Jim! Don is a great pattern maker and this one is a blue ribbon winner!

You should think about entering it in the Ventura County fair coming up.
