Prayers for Peace
Dustin Grella released the below video, titled Prayers of Peace. The stop motion animated short was produced in 2008/2009 with the intent to pay tribute to a great human being who’s life was cut short during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Our brother, Devin J Grella, at the young age of 21 was killed by an improvised explosive device (IED) while delivering 40,000 gallons of top grade fuel just outside of Fallujah, Iraq.
Prayers for Peace from Dustin Grella
There is so much that I could say to attempt to pay homage to our little bro but I believe that Dusty’s movie hits the spot. There is something that you have to understand about this movie. Every frame was hand drawn on a piece of slate with chalk. Very same procedures of clay animation but with a chalk board. Frame by frame. Prayers for Peace took hours of work to produce mere seconds of film. Dusty’s work and effort has earned him many judges and peoples choice awards at film festivals across the globe. He decided to release it this week to the public because on July 20, Devin would’ve celebrated yet another birthday. —>Here<— is another birthday wish from a previous post of mine and also, what I consider a pretty good post on “What is Freedom?”
Thank you for viewing the video, Prayers for Peace, please share with you family and friends as we promised as Americans that WE WILL NEVER FORGET.
