Ken Pridgeon known as The Dauber will be honored in Houston next month by the Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge with its George Washington Honor Medal. A panel of judges including state Supreme Court justices and civic leaders selected him from nominees for decades of service through his Portrait of a Warrior Memorial Gallery on Texas Avenue. He paints portraits of fallen service members from Iraq and Afghanistan and donates original works to families, often turning down donations. The recognition follows his rising profile among supporters nationwide.
