A heartwarming story about one woman's outreach to families of fallen soldiers:

Such a wonderful way to honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

My girlfriend who lost her husband in 2004, CPT John Tipton, received one of these paintings.  I believe back in 2005 the artists had all the paintings on display in Washington D.C.... she traveled to see the portraits in Washington D.C. of all those who had been KIA...  needless to say it was very emotional for her to receive this gift! but it's something she treasures!

 

heres the link for the DC exhibit
