Major General Henry Knox Lodge includes portrait by Travis Simpkins on Dog Tags

Major General Henry Knox Lodge. Boston, MA. Dog Tags. Art by Travis Simpkins


     Last night, I had the pleasure of being invited to Major General Henry Knox Lodge in Boston. They presented me with a dog tag featuring my portrait of MG Henry Knox on one side. I'm a civilian and this was my first time visiting a Military Lodge. It was a unique and welcoming experience.
