Clan Gordon Bagpipers Play 'Amazing Grace' - Memorial Day 2011 - Puyallup, WA
Description
My son just came home safely from his tour of duty in Afghanistan. His buddy, Army Specialist Rick DeWater, was killed in a Taliban ambush detailed in this Esquire article by NY Times reporter C. J. Chivers. http://www.esquire.com/features/afghanistan-war-stories-0809-7
The surviving members of Viper Company recruited famous cartoonist Jerry Bingham to draw a 25 page Graphic Novel of the battle. The project caught the attention of other artists, and the project ballooned into a 75 page compendium called Volume I of "Untold Stories of Iraq & Afghanistan".
The book was published in January, and Volume II is scheduled for 2012. Thanks to artist & organizer Clayton Merwin, many other big name cartoonists have agreed to contribute their art. The proceeds from sale of the books go to the USO and 3 other veteran service non-profits.
