My son spent 22 months in training and deployment to Iraq. He just bought a house and it has been 1 year sence he returned from Iraq, so I had Steve W make this plaque for me to give to him for an anniversary and house warming present. My plan for the 3 picture on it is,,, Training, deployment, and home comeing.

1st plaque is,
1. Picture of the 4200+ men and women lined up to make the Red Bull Crest just days before they left. They used a helicopter to take the pic.
2. Him on his first mission somewhere out in the desert.
3. Home comeing hug from dear old Dad.

The other 2 plaques have the same theme, so I won't explain them except for his 21st birthday pic. He spent his 21st birthday over there without a real beer.

I want to thank Steve for the great job he did and wish him the best of luck in the future of wood carveing.

Steven,

They look nice but are too small to see. Open the files one at a time, Save them as jpeg but in the "save as" dialog box, change the quality (compression) to about 75 or 80%. Then they should be small enough to post, but big enough to see.

Looks Great though. Just want to see more of them...LOL

EDIT:

Like this one. Saved at 90% it's only 55kb. Well under the 119kb limit. But when you click it, it's BIG...lol

Still waiting for my nephew to come home. He's been there 4 cycles by his choice. Another 4 months and counting.......
