Pleased, because your works capture so well the "grunts" who are oft-times forgotten, by civilians, to be the heart and soul of a company. Thank you, sir, for your service.

Be delighted if this can be a way to raise funds for needy service men and women. I hope the US media is also giving coverage to the work you do. Also enjoy your blog observations and AMAZED to find a fellow enthusiast for The Phantom Tollbooth! But, do please offer your art commercially.
