Dearest Mother,

Words cannot describe what I have seen these last couple of weeks. I wish nothing more than to return home and escape from this horrible place. I pray every night, alone in my foxhole, hoping that by some miracle the war will end tomorrow. But they keep pushing us forward, forever forward. Our CO reassures us that we'll be home for Christmas. I want to believe him, but I just can't. Berlin is still so very far away, I don't know if I can live through another day, let alone a couple of months. Your letters and the thought of returning home are the only things keeping me going. God, I miss you so much.

Your loving son, Jim.

Veterans day is Thursday.Take a minute and thank one if you see them.. This is a good tribute to some of what they endured.

Kasha (Nov 8, 2004)

Anna (Nov 8, 2004)

Great job. :-) You have really nice clean lines and solid coloring. :) Refreshing to see.

This kinda reminds me of a pic we had to draw in my history class back in 8th grade.Nice work on all the details and gore.

Very impressive work all around. The folds in the clothes are quite convincing, as is the poor private's expression. You have not only style, but substance.

edit: I just noticed how the lineart around Jim is stronger than the rest. Subtle details like that really add to a picture.

I like this! There isn't a single part of it that isn't as good as the rest, your colouring and lineart is perfect!
As said, great tribute <:)

Props to the veterans, and to my father, who trained young men to kill during the Gulf War.

Poor guy looks a bit sick. Poor soldier, seeing all that had got to be horrendous on a person.
