Hamill’s daughter Neenah, who was born in China, was feeling homesick so Hamill painted the mural on the side of the barn so his daughter can see it from their house across the street.Travis Yaw is the Stepson of Erickson Magno, a military photographer for the U.S. Navy currently stationed at Syracuse, New York.
