Default Canadian soldier dies
This Carving was commissioned by the Uncle in memory of his nephew, a soldier who died in Afghanistan a while back. It's about 7' tall from white Oak.

Great stuff. It'll be nice when all of our young men women are home, so there won't be a need for tributes anymore. You've made a beautiful homage to our troops and I'm sure the uncle will treasure it.You should be proud!

Beautiful tribute for a worthy cause.

I am proud of all who serve in the crap holes of the world to make us all more secure back home.
