I have a good friend, an artist, a tall, black very intelligent man, also who has been deployed 4 times to Afghanistan - our group of Hawaiian artists sent his soldiers canvases and brushes and paints to keep up their spirits in the desolation. They sent us pictures of what they painted. I think of Roger and his young family and celebrate for all the others like him.
