DE PERE — The picture that Dan Smith drew this week hardly looked like a happy scene, but it re-created one of the former Marine's better wartime memories.
Using green, brown, red and black colored pencils, the Vietnam War veteran drew a row of guns firing into a jungle background, the rounds exploding into red plumes upon hitting their target.
"I'd rather draw the good times," a long-haired and bearded Smith said, explaining his drawing was of artillery training in the Philippines, not combat.
