Michael came to Center High School two years ago. I was in 8th grade and I have been raised in fire departments. When I was 6 I had already made my decision to be a Jr. Firefighter. My parents had both supported my decision and did not try to talk me out of it. Being a Jr is great but seeing this done right before my eyes in walking distance away, was awesome. I am one of 3 females in my school to be in the fire department. 2of us are in the band. It is great to see someone appreciate us.
when my friends and i began watching this we were like what the hell why is this guy spattering paint all over then we realized it was the American flag then we slowly saw the person and at the end we were like dam that awesome
,,,,,,THIS IS THE REASON LA COUNTY FIRE FIGHTERS MAKE ON AVG $125,000/YR AND RETIRE AT 50 ,,,,,,PEOPLE FALLS FOR EMOTIONAL BS,,,,HOW ABOUT BECOME AN ENGINEER AND A SCIENTIST SO WE CAN COMPETE AGAINST EUROPEANS AND ASIANS,,,,
@noformstyle Why don't you call a engineer or scientist next if your house is ever on fire with your loved ones trapped inside of it and see how much good that does you. And as far as your statement that they make $125,000 and retire at 50,they put their life on the line almost daily. They also have the highest rate of heart problems of any other profession because of the stress of their job!
@noformstyle Military, Fire Fighters, etc sacrifice themselves everyday to protect this country including the scientists, engineers, and even you. They risk their lives outside of their jobs, their families, their friends, when saving another and I think when you realize this, it will too play with your emotions. At least they have one clear focus in mind, unlike some of your scientists which are trying to find the next big thing to inject into a woman's face. So why don't you show some respect.
And Michael Israel did this and other pieces..ALL FOR CHARITY?? Outrageous. The emotion he exhibits and the emotion he stirs in those who watch as his work comes alive..AND HE DOES IT FOR CHARITY?? I am humbled...
The tower attacks were not caused by Islam. they were caused by religious fanatics who were preaching that their religion was the only correct one and that all other religious followers would rot and hell after death. Somewhat like what u are doing.
I love this video ! I watched it in school today . And had to post it on facebook . I wad almost crying . This is was remembering 9-11 is all about !!!! (:
this moved me so much<3 R.I.P. all the men and women who lost their lives, and the men and women who tried to save them:) all the police firefighters and paramedics. thank you. may god be with everyone who lost their lives;everyone who survived; and everyone's families. c'mon everyone, thumbs up!
Around when with video was posted I was 11. I saw it and thought it was pretty cool... it popped into my head so i watched it... I am now 14 and i think i get a stronger message from it.. Proud to me an American
for all the fags tht think nine eleven wuz set up can jst burn n fucking hell bcuz yall forget tht there are ppl who surived the towers crashing and they will tell thire storty n e time they can
Good bless all those firefighters, police, and civilians from 9/11 my fathers a firefighter and cry every time i hear this song. God bless all the soldiers fighting for this great country We are eternally gratefull for your sacrafice to keep us safe
this is the best iv ever seen and he is wasom i love that he made trhis and he is so good at it hes the best painter iv ever seen i hop he makes another one just so iu can see it
Thank You for being a fire fighter all those years! Fire Fighters and the Military in my eyes should always be commended for their bravery and work well done. Fire fighters are always putting their life on the line to save another life - In my mind you guys are also heros - even though it's just a job. Thank you
his art work is amazing and god bless the u.s.a.
