The Art of Compassion for Families

Week of July 30, 2007

Project Compassion's sole mission is providing an 'heirloom legacy of courage' to families of fallen servicemembers. That heirloom comes in the form of an 18-by-24-inch, gallery-quality, oil-on-canvas portrait of any servicemember who has died in the global war on terrorism. The portraits, painted from photographs, are presented to servicemembers' families at no cost to the families. More than 600 portraits have been completed so far. Families who have lost a servicemember, regardless of the cause, since Sept. 11, are eligible to receive a portrait. For more information, visit the Project Compassion website.
