Meet Michael G. Reagan, internationally acclaimed portrait artist, and learn about his mission to create portraits of the fallen heroes who have died in service to their country.
Reagan, a combat veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps during the Vietnam War and a portrait artist for more than 30 years, began drawing portraits of fallen service members after receiving a request for a custom commission from the wife of a soldier killed in Iraq.
He has now drawn nearly 2,700 portraits free-of-charge for American and Coalition families who have lost a loved one in either Iraq or Afghanistan, and those who have committed suicide after their service.
