That was very kind of you. You got a very good likeness in the portrait.

there is a group that has taken this on as a project for every soldier that has fallen in the Iraq/Afghanistan war. To date they have presented over 1200 to loved ones. The group is headed by Gary Browning and here is a link to their website.
