IT’S FOR YOU , this day - all who served and their people. God bless America! My patriotic paintings do well and having “old war wounds fixed” was a miracle and a big success, but I need Your sales to absorb copay fees. I’d do it al again - two times! My heart is very happy and I hope yours is as well! Elle
