Veteran in context
At first glance, politics may appear to be the ‘Heart of America’. However, after looking deeper, it occurred to me that almost nothing we will ever face can really compare with the ultimate sacrifice made by our military. Whether as a volunteer or a draftee, these courageous veterans made the ultimate sacrifice when they represented our country on the battlefields of the world.
With that thought in mind, I created a special heart where the blue and red occupy equal space. Whether your political views are Democratic or Republican, I think we can all agree that the only appropriate caption has to be ‘Veterans – The Heart and Soul of America’.” – David Leese
