The Influence of the Chief Tecumseh Poem

Purchase Chief Tecumseh Poem PrintYou may recall sometime back we had posted about the Chief Tecumseh poem that we had become aware of from the Act of Valor movie.  Well we just recently received a note from an active duty soldier that I had to share with you.

Hello Sir,
So you are the only place I have been able to find the poem for sale by Chief Tecumseh.  See I am a US soldier, this is my 5th tour of combat and I am currently in Afghanistan.  I had heard and used this poem long before the movie Act of Valor but my younger guys really took a liking to it kinda like a wild fire in there soul.  And well with the line of work we do it’s something to live by.  You have a beautiful product and well of course ya can’t give it away but i didn’t know if maybe you could send out a few maybe as I am trying to get different things before Christmas to do a lil present shuffle for my guys.  Just trying to get donations and well even if not i have 24 guys and well if there was any way you could give me a bulk discount maybe or something.  See I really plan on having a flag flown here over our head quarters for 9 days 11 hours and then pulled down folded up and framed and really wanted to frame a copy of this poem with it.  This is something a soldier will hold as more of a prize than a medal or award as it’s from one brother to another and well asking you if there is anything you might could do to help me make this happen.

Thanks so much.

Needless to say, we were deeply moved by this quest and we decided to donate to this cause immediately.   The reason why I wanted to share this with you is to give you a glimpse of the things that are important to our brave men and women in uniform.

If you have any family or friends that are in the Military and you think this would be meaning to them we are currently able to offer a 35% discount At The Gallery when you use the coupon code Turkey35 at checkout.   We truly are grateful for all who have served.

We wish you peace and many blessings during this Christmas Season.

About waynem

As a Minnesota based photographer and artist I have been greatly influenced by the Upper Midwest. I focus my skills and energies on portraits, landscapes, cityscapes, architectural and fine art work. My best work comes from images first painted in my mind. I mull over a prospective image for weeks or months, seeing it from different angles and perspectives, then finally deciding what to capture. The result is images that deeply touch people's emotions and powerfully evoke memories and dreams. My images are used commercially by companies and organizations ranging from Financial Services firms, mom and pop Ice Cream shops and The Basilica of St Mary to communicate their shared vision and values. Book and magazine publishers have featured my images on their covers. My photographs also grace and enhance the decor of many fine homes.

    i’m sure it breaks soldiers hearts to see anyone burn our flag – as it breaks mine also…
