"Our mission is to honor the American Fallen Heroes for their ultimate sacrifice during the war against terrorism. The foundation will provide the resources to produce and distribute to each family a hand-drawn portrait of their Fallen Hero, created by artist Michael G. Reagan, free of charge. Each portrait is intended to show our Love and Respect for these Heroes and their families.”

Reagan himself is a Marine veteran of the Vietnam war. This talented artist has more than 5,000 portraits of veterans as part of his “Fallen Heroes Portrait Project.”

While the full impact of his work cannot be presented in the allotted time, all veterans and interested members of the community are welcome to come to hear him present a snippet of his work.
