This project was truly an honor to do. It was a combination portfolio and hand bound journal. It was made to present as a gift for the CEO of Bell Helicopter. The organization presenting the gift was American Huey 369, Inc. They are a Non-Profit Organization formed for the specific purpose of Paying Tribute to ALL Veterans and Patriots. They currently have plans to build a one of a kind National American Huey Museum. To date they've restored 2 Huey Helicopters and are currently restoring a B-model Gunship. To help them with this, or to read a truly inspirational story, you can visit their website American Huey 369. The journal had a pocket, on the left side, for DVD's, business card slots and a picture of the future museum. On the right side was a patch with their logo and a pocket for a calender. In the center were the hand bound pages. These displayed letters from veterans.
