Happy Fourth!

I have shown this flag collage before. It is a piece I created 3 days after 9/11.

It uses vintage flag images and words to God Bless America. I think this was my first conscious art therapy piece. It is in my studio next to a flag with the Pledge of Allegiance.

I need to be reminded the cost of freedom.
