#NationalPoliceWeek is a time of particular recognition of all law enforcement officers who serve and protect our communities every day, to solemnly honor those officers who gave their lives in the line of duty, and to express our deepest gratitude to their surviving families.

In honor of #NationalPoliceWeek, we wish to share this message of gratitude. THX to all law enforcement officers - including those from our NPS family - who continue their work to keep us safe. THX to all essential workers and healthcare providers for their continued service.

We could not do our job of preserving and protecting National Park Service museum collections without our law enforcement partners. Security surveys, rings of defense around our cultural property, investigative services if the worst happens. Thx for your service! #NationalPoliceWeek

My first attempt back to drawing... Islesford Museum Acadia National Park I clearly have need some more practice, particularly with scale and details. Hold off on landscape and 2D perspective until future projects!

Today we honor all those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. May their memories be eternal! #MemorialDay

“…On this day… we call to mind the deaths of those who died that the nation might live, who wagered all that life holds dear... that the mighty national structure raised by the...framers of the Constitution, should not crumble into meaningless ruins.” TR, #MemorialDay 1902.
