Portraits of Courage Exhibit

Growing out of President Bush’s own outreach and the ongoing work of the George W. Bush Institute's Military Service Initiative, Portraits of Courage brings together sixty-six full-color portraits and a four-panel mural painted by President Bush of members of the United States military who have served our Nation with honor since 9/11—and whom he has come to know personally.

Portraits of Courage will be on display October 13, 2022 - December 31, 2022, at the Harry S. Truman Library and Museum.
