Panama 1990 - Ben Gayton Jr (Left) James Maeata’anoa (Right)
As a second generation service member, I am proud to have raised my right hand and served this great nation. My goal is to show my appreciation to all branches and first responders through my art. To all my brothers and sisters in-arms, Thank You for your service and sacrifice.
This page is dedicated to my late friend, James P. Maeata’anoa. I miss our conversations, your smile, and laugh. Rest easy my brother.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
Theodore Roosevelt
