Please, I beg you all, all of my long time friends, associates, and family members, to go visit the Toyota West teacher of the year contest, find the picture of my daughter's teacher from last year, Jennifer Zimmer, and click on the "Like" button. She is an amazing teacher - kind, intelligent and incredibly caring! For years my daughter Jillyan has struggled in school - coming home with bruises and injuries, crushed toes in a shoe full of blood 2 years ago, and never being treated as well as she was last year. Jillyan has CHARGE syndrome, is blind and deaf, has had 8 major surgeries in her short life. She was one of the "Exceptional Children" presented last week at the International Deaf Blind Conference in Greensboro, NC, and we are so proud to have raised her to this date and beaten every doctors' and surgeons' estimates that she would not live this long. I really, sincerely ask that you help me in aiding Jennifer in making Teacher of the Year. Her school will win $5,000 and Jen will get a free car lease for a year. If I could I'd buy her a car myself, she deserves so much more tha that.

I would like to thank you in advance for assisting me! The link below will take you to the contest at Toyota West Statesville.

After several survivla schools - two and a half years in RVN. Coordinated air strikes and Forward Air Control. Spent a lot of time in support of the 101st at Phan Rang. Back to the US and several months at England AFB, La. and when I would not re-up got a few months early out. I never miss an opportunity to thank any military folks I see. Really like the look on a old guy's face when you take his hand and say a warm "Thank you"

In memory of our fallen
We praise those who have given
The Last Full Measure

Abraham Lincoln 1809 - 1865

Gettysburg Address

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate - we can not consecrate - we can not hallow - this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain - that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom - and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

President Abraham Lincoln
November 1863

Thanks, but not all that great, just my opinion. Here's a better one and more fitting for this group - pen & ink drawing, then colored in with airbrush... Titled "PT Hangar":
