Description
Painter of the open road edition® In honor of all our veterans.
World War II was between 1939 and 1945 that involved all the world’s major countries. It was the most destructive war in history and millions of people were killed. More than 16 million men and women soldiers served in the Armed Forces during World War II, and another 3.5 million worked as federal civilian employees.
Dear WWII veterans, I can’t imagine what you had to go through and how you felt during the time you so bravely fought to give us our freedom. My painting is to honor all who served, and continue to protect our countries. It is also to remind others of your sacrifices and for our children’s children to never forget how strong you all are. The idea for the creation of this painting was based on the celebration of the end of the war. A young triple ace pilot telling his heroic flight stories as older veterans gather around remembering the days of their past. A young Navy nurse is thought of by her husband as they continue to live together today with love and happiness. A soldier stands tall looking over the thunderous skies at the P51 Mustangs and bombers flying by as Bob Hope arrives for an entertainment show for the troops.
