For Which They Gave 36 × 62 inches Currently Featured and available directly from the artists studio in Oviedo, Florida. Created from recycled computer keys, this American flag mosaic honors the sacrifice, service, and perseverance behind our freedoms. Hidden within the keys are quotations from John Adams, Thomas Paine, John F. Kennedy, and Frederick Douglass, inviting viewers to discover the words beneath the image. Its title, drawn from Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, connects these voices in a tribute to those who gave—and those who continue to give—for their country. “Posterity! You will never know, how much it cost the present Generation, to preserve your Freedom!” — John Adams, letter to Abigail Adams, April 26, 1777. “Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigues of supporting it.” — Thomas Paine, The American Crisis, No. IV, September 12, 1777. “Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.” — John F. Kennedy, inaugural address, January 20, 1961. “If there is no struggle, there is no progress.” — Frederick Douglass, West India Emancipation speech, August 3, 1857
