Description
Flying over a Veterans Memorial building are the American Flag, the POW-MIA flag (bearing the words, "You Are Not Forgotten"), and the California Republic Bear Flag.
I took this photo in the San Francisco Bay Area, summer of 2015. This image is a variation of "Flags of Honor" seen in my U.S. Flag gallery.
May we honor those who are serving and have served our beloved Country.
May we also remember the nearly 82,000 members of our Armed Forces who are POWs and/or MIAs since WWII. Let us pray for their safe return.
God bless America, and may America bless God.
"Greater love has no one than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13

Artwork notes::
This image may be ordered as greeting cards (quantity discounts available), prints, and other products featured on this page. All artwork ordered through Fine Art America comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, and world-wide shipping is available.
Embedded in the top right-hand corner is the Hebrew acronym for "B'ezras Hashem" [ ב ס " ד ] meaning "with God's help". It is a reminder to me as an artist of my dependence on the Almighty, the Originator of all creativity. This is a similar acknowledgement used by great artists like Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel who signed their work with the Latin phrase, "Soli Deo gloria" which means, "Glory to God alone".
The "Fine Art America" watermark in the full resolution preview will not show in the final print/product purchased.
