Today we heard from Christine McGeehan. Who is she? We don’t know, but this is what she said, “I recently purchased a beautifully framed “Flag Day” print by Jack Bredin. It’s 199/500 and signed. I love it and am thrilled to hang it in my living room. I am not an artist bu I really appreciate the creativity and hard work in each painting.”
Chris, you must be a patriotic person to love Jack’s “Flag Day,” so you will pleased to know that one of those prints hangs in the Monmouth/Ocean office of the DEA where patriots walk by it daily and love the theme.
And below is a Blogfinger post on Flag Day 2015:
c. New bagel shop opens on Main Avenue.
