"My hope is that those who have the opportunity to see this special exhibit will also remember the leadership, service, and sacrifice behind each of the heroes painted and the unique challenges our servicemembers and their families face when transitioning out of the military," said Ken Hersh, president and CEO of the George W. Bush Presidential Center.
