Nikki Mendicino

  I met Nikki in the parking lot at Arlington National Cemetery after "The Run For The Wall Bikers" placed a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns.


After I took a few photographs of Nikki and her POW Bear, her Mom handed me a business card. It was not until I was back in the studio a week later did I realize how special this young sixth grader is.

Her card reads

Nikki Mendicino, POW/MIA Advocate, "Because I Care"
