"”Honor and Remember” - “Project Compassion” We love our Soldiers! We love our country and we cannot express enough love and compassion to the families of our fallen heroes. War does not discriminate – It breaks our hearts to see the faces of the fallen. We want to give this gift to the hero’s Mother, Father and/or spouse. We are a 501c3 nonprofit organization! Almost 2,100 portraits have been completed and shipped to the parents and or spouse - at no cost as this is a gift from one American to another!
This is a gift! We have wonderful sponsors who help with the costs, and want you know that everyone here at Project Compassion does and will always CARE.
Contact us directly at Projectcompassion@manti.com or go to www.heropaintings.com . If you have already had a portrait completed, we pray that you are enjoying the portrait and God Bless You.
Sincerely and Respectfully,

"I never want to forget the sacrifices of so many young men and women. I am so proud it makes me cry. I understand in theory only that war is a part of human nature but so is love and caring. I wish I could take the families pain away but I can't. I am committed to loving ALL people, myself and our environment. I am committed to working on my happiness everyday because so many have died for my freedom to live my life. Thank you is not enough but it is all I have. All my love and respect. ogersteiner@yahoo.com"

"I never knew William but I know he was a good man...because he was a PJ. I was the PJ Master Sergeant at Kadena (320th STS) for a number of years. I returned to Kadena as the 31st RQS Superintendent and dropped by a number of times to the 320th...they have a number of pictures of both Bill and Juan on the wall in rememberance...a fitting tribute to two great warriors.

Never forget he did what he did because he loved what he did...his loss is tragic, but he lived life to the fullest. He will always be remembered."

"Master Sergeant McDaniel, goodbye soldier and thank you. You are my hero."
Bill of Houston, Texas

"M/Sgt McDaniel lived up to the cliche you hear often, but he was for real, he was a leader of men.

Only because of soldiers like he does our country's enemies have no safe hideout, so place to run to with impunity.

M/Sgt McDaniel made us all safer in this country by taking the war to forgotten shores and going after those who would hurt us."
