You are so very welcome! I thought the drawing of your boots was not only an item of extreme talent, but also very appropriate to represent all our veterans. I'm happy that you were pleased! And, thank you for your kind compliments on the Pekan. I try to do my best to honor all you fine fellows!
I have attached the front cover file if you would like to send it to anyone else.
Best wishes,
Sherrie
