Default Eight Bells
This one I did at the end of last week for a seriously ill Vietnam era Marine.

A friend came to me asking if I would make a gift for his neighbor who has recently been diagnosed with cancer. War wounds and the ravages of Agent Orange further complicate the situation. The outcome of the impending proceedure is in doubt.

Please offer up prayers for his medical issues and surgery that is happening today. Semper Fi Marine! Thank you for your service in Vietnam. Welcome Home.

Joe

Hey Joe,
Very nice carving, and a truly great gift. As a Viet Nam vet, I'll say any vet would love to receive such a gift.
