Patriotic Teen Creates American Flag Out Of 4,466 Tiny Toy Soldiers

An Indiana teenager decided he wanted to reveal his true colors for a school art project, but he never expected that what he turned in would go completely viral on the internet, with countless people offering to buy his creation.

Here at LifeDaily, we believe there is no one out there who deserves praise and recognition like our brave, heroic men and women of the military. Yet while there are so many people out there who agree, not many would go above and beyond to prove they bleed Red, White, and Blue like Maconaquah High School senior Jacob Feazel.

For his senior art project, Feazel channeled American contemporary artist Dave Cole, creating an American flag made of toy soldiers, similar to “Memorial Flag”, which is currently housed at the Rhode Island School of Design Museum.

Stacey Bishop-Feazel documented her son’s project from start to finish on Facebook, in photos that quickly gained thousands of likes, comments, and shares.

According to WLFI, Feazel used 4,466 tiny toy army men and about 30 cans of spray paint over the course of eleven days to create the spectacular work of art.

Unsurprisingly, photos like the one below had many people congratulating Feazel for his amazing accomplishment and thanking him for his patriotism.

“Fantastic. I love the flag, and any respectful way to show it!” wrote Ronnie Green on a post shared nearly 3,500 times.

Feazel’s proud mom wrote on Facebook “I will add also most of the painting was done in single digit temps sometimes with a negative windchill” of the project she said took more than 50 hours and cost approximately $450.

Stacey Bishop-Feazel said her son’s flag will by displayed at “the Cole Porter Scholarship in the spring. Then it goes back to school for the art show then I’ll display it for his graduation.”

Best of all, Feazel displayed the box of spare Army men seen below near his project in hopes of inspiring patriotism and prayers for our troops with his peers, and now strangers across the globe.
