Portraits of Honour Arrives in Kenora

A touching scene at the Kenora Fire Hall this morning.

The families of two soldiers who died in Afghanistan were the first in line to check out the Portraits of Honor.

Dave Sopha is the artist responsible for painting the faces of the 158 officers who died in the Afghan mission.

He says his work has been a labor of love.
The tour of the large truck-size mural is winding down and will visit Shilo, Manitoba tomorrow before returning back to souther Ontario later this month.

The Portraits will be on display until 5:00 this evening.
