Sorry I don't have any photos of the bust with the finished patina, you'll have to travell to kodiak to see that. Ceremony is the 5th of January.

Great project, great job!! Sadly, not many people think of Coasties as Medal of Honor recipients. Too many of them think that the Coast Guard isn't really "military" and, therefore, not eligible. They are oh so misinformed!

(Incidentally, please do not refer to the decoration as the "Congressional Medal of Honor." It is correctly called the Medal of Honor. Simply that. No "Congressional" to it.)
