Those posts, saluting all those who served in all branches of the US Armed Services, demonstrates members of the 12volt industry understands those veterans contributed to the freedom we enjoy today.
My late Father, W. R. Van Horn, was a veteran of World War II. In fact, he was serving in Germany when I was born in 1945.
My Father, a commercial artist created this cartoon graphic on a brown paper bag, announcing my birth while on duty. The actual cartoon, from 78 years ago, is on a desk in the 12volt Central Studios in Shreveport LA. I am in the diapers lower as my parents look down at their kid.
As a commercial artist he was also the editor of the 120 page leather-bound coffee table book pictured below which was printed in Germany.
On this Veterans Day 2026 let’s all pause to Thank All Veterans for their service.
