The picture is a watercolor painting done by a Viet Nam veteran in 1971. The battle-damaged building overlooked Nha Phu Bay.
Art is an important way to tell a story and engage memories in a positive way.
Remember the Brave will feature art done by veterans and non-veterans that speak to the importance of art in our lives and recovery from trauma.
