All This Is That: painting

by Jack Brummet, National Affairs Ed.

On Veterans Day, George W. Bush posted a photo of himself painting a portrait of a wounded veteran who served the U.S. during his time in office.

The former President wrote:

"Over the past several months, I’ve painted the portraits of 98 wounded warriors I’ve gotten to know – remarkable men and women who were injured carrying out my orders. I think about them on #VeteransDay and every day. Their paintings and stories will be featured in PORTRAITS OF COURAGE – a book and special exhibit – next spring, and I am donating all my proceeds to @thebushcenter and our Military Service Initiative’s work to honor and support them."
