I really think this is a lovey piece, it speaks so much pain and suffering, and every mother whose child is in the military should have one.

It's nice to see a simple, yet emotional drawing of the modern American soldier- and one that is sympathetic to the soldier. Well done!

Lovely work! Congrats on the sale.

Espanola, NM

Wonderful drawing! Love the detail and mood. Looks like every greedy war profiteering corporation in the country has something hanging on that poor GI. This recalls to mind an expression from our time in Viet Nam, "War is good business invest your son." Thank you for your beautiful drawing.

I have told more people than I can count about this piece of art. I think it is one of the best that I've ever seen. I cannot believe the emotion presented and the quality of the work. What you do with pencil is what I strive to attain, as far as I'm concerned, your work is some of the best that I've ever seen. And I tried to thank you on your comments about my artwork, but I'm a computor moron, so please accept this as my thanks. A compliment like that about my work from an artist as fine as you are is a really great compliment. Thank you.
