The painting "Forever Honor" (A Century of Defense) features events from Korea, Vietnam, The Gulf War and Iraqi Freedom. Featured in the painting is an Air Force Reservist holding her daughter as she returns home from a mission to the Gulf. Fading to the upper right is a row of A464D Longbow Apache Helicopter storming over the desert sky. An A7 Corsair II leaves the deck of an aircraft carrier as the stars and stripes are ghosted through the sky as a constant reminder or our concept of liberty. Below the painting is a rifle company of the U.S. 1st Cavalry Division, moving through a rice paddy in the coastal part of Binh Dinh Province. Directly to the right is a infantryman being comforted as casualty tags are made out during the Korean War.

The bottom right features a M60A3 tank blazing through the desert towards Baghdad during the liberation of Iraq. This painting will "Forever Honor" our courageous soldiers who have always sacrificed their lives to preserve the American way of life and all she stands for.
