This painting was painted by actually observing the original jacket worn by an Air Force enlisted man who served in Vietnam from 1964-1965.  I changed the over-the-pocket name tag to read VALOR to represent all of the military that wore such a shirt. VALOR means the boldness or determination in facing danger.  At some time, all servicemen have faced some form of danger and some more than others--all gave some, some gave all.  Each soldier is a very special link creating a common goal for Freedom. The purple color of the rose placed in the pocket over the heart represents the Purple Heart medal.  The rose  symbolizes those who served  as individuals of honorable distinction.
