August 29th, 2021 - Memorial

 August 11th I posted a picture hinting at a tack set I have worked on for two years & was finally close to completing. Last week I finished up the last few little things left on the tack & the custom Hawk resin it was made for. It is a caparison set, the riderless horse used in military funerals of U.S. Army or Marine Corps officers who were a colonel or higher.
 Regardless of rank or branch, I would like to dedicate this set to the 13 men & women who died in the attack in Kabul on Thursday.

 Maxton Soviak, 22, Navy.
 Kareem M. Nikoui, 20, Marines.
 David L. Espinoza, 20, Marines.
 Rylee McCollum, 20, Marines.
 Jared M. Schmitz, 20, Marines.
 Hunter Lopez, 22, Marine.
 Daegan Page, 23, Marines.
 Ryan Knauss, 23, Army.
 Darin T. Hoover Jr., 31, Marines.
 Johanny Rosario Pichardo, 25, Marines.
 Humberto A. Sanchez, 22, Marines.
 Nicole L. Gee, 23, Marines.
 Dylan R. Merola, 20, Marines.

 My heart breaks for & my prayers go out to those they left behind. They should never have been killed. God bless & keep all our Military, our Veterans, & their families.
