Picture Name : The Burden of Forgiving the Sacrifice

The Burden of Forgiving the Sacrifice

This image is dedicated to my uncle, who served as a gunner in WWII. He suffered in silence for many years, from a knee injury, while in battle, but never reported it. My uncle took the image of this WWII plane, while serving in the US Navy. I recreated this scene as a result of his photo. Also dedicated for my two grandfathers, both served in the military. One served as a sergeant in the US air force, the other served in the US army. One step grandfather was a p.o.w. who suffered mental illness for many years from the result of being tortured. Three cousins served as well, one served as a surgical nurse Lt. during the end of the Vietnam war, the other two enlisted in the army and served overseas. the other one, I believe served in the first gulf war. Many layers used, three images taken by me while visiting Boeing Museum of Flight. Painter X, FX tools, blenders, airbrush. Thank you for your service and sacrifice.
