1. The Creator
I am so very honored to have created all of these for the Commemorative Air Force! I spent 4 years and lots of hours creating all of the copper plaques for this Walk of Honor. Couldn't have done it without my employer, Metal Magic. Note To Editor only visible by Contributor and editor
