Veteran’s Poem

Painted by artist Larry Kassell in 2013; to date this latest addition to Silverton’s collection of murals. It is located in the parking area at 203 East Main Street and depicts Silverton’s Mural Society’s own Vince Till along with the loyal dog FeBee. Mr. Till – wearing his bib overalls locals often see him adorned in as he tends to the flower beds during his daily inspection of the murals throughout town – is shown with FeBee alongside a poem honoring the service and sacrifices of our nation’s veterans. The poem, titled: It is the Veteran, lists many of the freedoms and rights that all Americans enjoy, all due to the dedication and sacrifices made by our brave men and women in uniform.
