my grandfather was the soldier that was used in this painting by WWII artist Ardis Hughes
"War bonds are cheaper than wooden crosses."
---------------------------
"One of his most famous was a poster carrying the message "War bonds are cheaper than wooden crosses."The poster depicted a soldier dragging a cross across a field. The model for the soldier was someone Hughes had seen when the man, John Reiter, was on Military Police detail at the White House.
Serving as the model for the poster, turned out to be the highlight of his life, according to Reiter's family.
The framed poster hung in Reiter's bedroom, Hughes was told, and when Reiter died in 2002, the family hung the poster at the funeral home."

my brothers and I each have a fullsized replica at our homes but my grandmother still has the original.
