To those who are veterans of Desert Shield/Storm, this may be a sight you may remember. I've had it in my dreams for over 20 yrs and needed to "exercise it out of me", or at least make an attempt to paint what I remember.

Sgt. Grit, A friend of mine was in Siesta Key from 11/11/11 thru 11/15/11. The Siesta Key Chamber of Commerce held their 2nd annual Crystal Classic Sand Sculpture competition.
