To date, Mike Reagan has painted over 2,300 portraits of men and women who have died in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Each one is given to the family of the service member that Reagan painted.

Several years ago, Reagan brought the idea of a poster to Journal Media Group / Design JMG and the creative director of our graphics department designed one that incorporated photos of 200 to 300 images of the portraits. Since then, Design JMG has made seven more and is now beginning the eighth.

Whenever Reagan speaks to a group, his posters come with him, flanking him on both sides. The visual image is quite powerful, he said.

"I always end my speech by saying, 'What I want you to do when I'm done is to come up and look at these posters. Memorize one face, and tonight before you go to sleep, close your eyes and remember it. Then say thank you.'"

Dreams to be racked with fear this October as Haunted Night features a nightmare theme at their 2nd annual haunted house to benefit the Boys and Girls Clubs of Snohomish County.

Jack was the perfect father, the perfect husband, had the perfect suburban life. All was good until one fateful day when he escorted his children to the curb to greet the ice cream man. The driver looked at Jack and offered forth a glistening, green Alien Pop, “On the house”. Jack never could’ve anticipated the nightly horrors that awaited him, all from accepting that one tasty treat. This October, prepare to experience horror on a whole new level as Haunted Night presents the Haunted Nightmare Haunted House in Bothell (Canyon Park) benefiting the Boys and Girls Clubs of Snohomish County.
