Description: This tattoo has dual purpose. I wanted a piece that showed some patriotism, with the shield and the bald eagle. I liked the idea of a kind of pin-up style Lady Liberty, (red hair the influence of my beautiful bride).

I was also deployed to NYC to assist with the efforts at ground zero as a member of UTTF-1. I wanted to never forget those who gave their lives on that dreadfull day.
