Adam was a 23-year-old Marine who was on his third tour of duty when he was shot to death by hostile fire in Fallujah, Iraq, a city in the Iraqi province of Al Anbar, located roughly 43 miles west of Baghdad on the Euphrates River, where he was serving as a police sergeant at a base camp.

Corey Launches New "Fallen Heroes" Project

Corey has launched a new project to honor the memory of soldiers who have been killed during a time of war while serving in the United States Armed Forces and give back to the families of these men and women for their sacrifice. Corey will have a page on this website called "Fallen Heroes" in tribute to these

“It’s my view that whether you agree or not with our president or whether you agree or not with whatever war that our nation is involved in, there are men and women who are making sacrifices and defending our great nation who need our support. Not only are these soldiers making everyday sacrifices but so are their families. It’s because of the sacrifice that these brave soldiers are making on our behalf that we are able to live free and have so much opportunity. Sadly, some have made the ultimate sacrifice. We have soldiers dying that need to be remembered. They are part of the reason the Frizzell’s have been able to do what they do. The reason I am able to be who I am and do what I love to do.
This tribute page is in honor of our fallen soldiers and showcases the portraits I have created free of charge and presented to their families. I have made a commitment to create as many portraits as I can of the soldiers who have lost their lives, serving in the United States Armed Forces during a time of war and present them to their families free or charge. It’s what little I can do to give back and honor their memory. These men and women deserve to be remembered.” - Corey
