The hour of your sacrifice
Can never be measured
It’s a gift we treasure
With the beating of our hearts

The weight of your courage
Is carried in a smile
By the grace of your shield
We never have to yield

The respect of your honor
Your greatest strength and power
Encases integrity
The soul of our humanity

The wisdom to lead
Shapes those who will exceed
Beyond their wildest dreams
Because of everything you achieved

Whenever you are walking home
Military, fire, police and all
There are no words to describe
Our gratitude and deepest pride.

Excerpt from One Nation, One Mission, One Promise — The continuing journey of fulfilling the promises made on July 4, 1776…

The image came to me before the words, but as soon as I saw it I began to think about our first responders.  From a fire person who will run into a inferno to save a life, a doctor, nurse, administrator who will assist you when you run into an emergency room, a police officer who will defuse a potential catastrophe while we exit the subway, reporters who will go on the front lines to keep us informed, volunteers who will help during a natural disaster and most importantly, to all those this day has been created and dedicated to, our military.  From home and around the world, to all different races, creeds, colors and religions, thank you for everything.  We get to celebrate, have bar-b-ques, have fun and spend time with our family and friends because of all of you.  Thank you may seem like two small words, but our hearts and gratitude are large.

UNIVERSAL FREEDOM
“I love picking one word that can encapsulate a life!”

The words I chose for the powerful individuals portrayed in “Change” spoke to the representation they held in their time. The two people who represented slavery didn’t have a voice, but without their actions, and their survival, we wouldn’t have Barack Obama where he is [more]

THE WORD

“It would be interesting to ask a young person using the ‘N’ word, ‘How would you use Hitler?’ “

Would we expect a Jewish person to run around with that rationale, and would the same argument be valid to try to decrease the power of the word by using it in a different [more]

FEMALE CATALYST

“There isn’t any man out there who has had success without a woman!”

Originally, I wanted to create a tribute to Obama. At the same time, I didn’t want the contributions of women to not be acknowledged. So for every man represented in “Change” there’s a woman. I started out in the [more]
