    Description

    One-of-a-kind patriotic folk art tribute memorial to Operation Desert Storm
    Constructed of two pieces of .75" plywood.
    Includes:
    A working clock superimposed over a silhouette of the USMSC Iwo Jima Memorial
    A raised map of the Middle Eastern Theatre of Operations, as well as a raised map of the Continential US painted in red, white and blue with an bald eagle
    A homage to the American flag written in the first person, using a label maker
    Bedecked with plastic figures of the main American players: Bush, Powell, and  Swartzkopf
    Model period fighter jets
    MIA Silhouette
    12.125" tall x 25.125" long x 9.5" deep
    Some condition issues to point out:
    A couple a dings to the edge of the plywood next to flag on the left side
    The figures have come unglued from their bases, of the board.  (I haven't tries re-gluing them fearing they would become unstuck in shipping and making it more difficult to reconnect.)
    A couple of "periods" missing from U.S.A. across the front.
    Otherwise, pretty sturdy.
    I wish I knew who made it.  Was it a project for school or Scouts, or just is patriotic display?
    Thanks for taking the time to look.  Don't be shy, make a fair offer.
