Alayna is a Marine Corps Veteran and started Semper Fi Designs as a way to raise money for Veterans Service Organizations and people in need. She made a flag for me sporting the HAWK missile and this first, only flag of its kind raised money for a charity she supports, Run to Home Base. Great story here of connecting with Tom who is another Marine …

So I will be doing the drawing live and giving an update about the program. I will also be talking about the Veterans Development Corporation Car Show on August 21, 2021. VDC is Veteran Owned by…

Five Years Old!!!! Hard to believe after all this time. And I tried something new. I believe in trying new things and this show is no exception. This show marks where I am committing to integrating fully into the Restream Platform.

Savannah Rae is no exception and I wanted to find out what makes her A Typical Texas Girl. She also loves the military. Savannah comes from a military family.

This film seemed to be a different kind of project especially since neither Susan nor Wayne served in the Vietnam War or…

Joan…
