JIM'S PORTRAIT
Sgt McCrohan, one of Jim's Marines from Camp Johnson, painted this portrait of him. He called Jim and asked him to re-enlist him and surprised him with this awesome painting. Jim was so touched and honored. He told Jim that his leadership and mentoring during his time at camp Johnson had meant so much to him and the other Marines at Combat Camera so they wanted to do something special for him. This Marine, a combat illustrator, has amazing talent and knocked this painting out in Just three days. Naturally I hung it in Jim's Marine room.
Several of his Marines and civilian Marines from Camp Johnson signed the back and were present for the presentation. This is such a huge testament to the kind of Marine and person he is. Of course, I know what an awesome man I have been blessed with having in my life.
I LOVE YOU HHB!
