Michael Carl O'Neil

pays tribute again

with

Private Duckie Edward O'Neil's Living Statue

to those who have fought in wars

and now most recently...

"The 6 Killed in Afghanistan".

Story Details:

Toronto Sun - April 9, 2007

A close-up....

Although this character as noted was created

in homage to my dad and grandfather,

especially for the recent Year of the Veteran...

it saddened me yet again

as these brave soldiers lost their lifes

for us and our country.

May God grant them eternal rest...

and bless their loved ones with strength and courage.
