About FLOC
For Love of Country (www.floc.us) is dedicated to all of the men and women protecting and serving their countries on all fronts of Justice whether at home or abroad. Our mission is to help spread support and Patriotism thru art. We appreciate the sheepdogs that have committed their lives to protecting the flock—and when the time is necessary—to confront the wolf. Keep up the good work, we are grateful and indebted to you.
The artist, Melinda Lowry, has been drawing all her life. Her first passion was drawing animals, but a new door opened when she started doing tactical artwork. "While working on the mural at Swanson Tactical Training Center, I stood back to look at the men I was painting, standing in formation with all their gear on—I was overcome with appreciation for everyone serving their country." Melinda stated, "There are a lot of things that go on behind the scenes that we don't know about, and we are able to live our lives because of the men and women who have dedicated themselves to protect and serve their country." She wanted to convey this appreciation through her artwork and is passionate about the drawings and paintings she creates. "It's one thing I can do to let the 'sheepdogs' know how grateful I am for their service."
