Honoring Our Heroes: A Veterans Day Tribute in Art

Honoring Our Heroes: A Veterans Day Tribute in Art

Date: 31Oct

Throughout the 20th century, artists like Norman Rockwell, J.C. Leyendecker, and Stevan Dohanos gave a face to patriotism. Their illustrations for The Saturday Evening Post chronicled America’s wartime home front — the quiet resilience of families, the pride of returning soldiers, and the hope that followed every hardship.

Each canvas became more than a painting; it was a mirror of a nation united in service and gratitude. From Rockwell’s heartfelt On Leave to Leyendecker’s Veteran Aviator, these works captured what words could not — the humanity behind heroism.

Ways to Honor Our Veterans
While art allows us to preserve history, we can also express gratitude through simple, meaningful gestures:

  1.    Visit a local Veterans Memorial or Museum – Take a quiet moment to observe, reflect, and teach younger generations about the sacrifices behind our freedom.

  2.   Display a flag or a patriotic artwork – A simple symbol of pride can remind everyone who visits your home or workspace of those who served.

  3.  Support veteran-owned businesses and organizations – Every purchase helps sustain those who have given so much to our country.

  4.  Reach out personally – A heartfelt “thank you” to a veteran or their family carries enormous meaning.

  5. Share stories and art – Whether through a painting, photograph, or family memory, keep the spirit of service alive by sharing it with others.

    Through gestures large and small, we continue the very legacy these artists captured — one of courage, unity, and gratitude.

    Enjoy this museum-style reflection of America’s artistic and patriotic heritage, featuring miniature framed works by Norman Rockwell, J.C. Leyendecker, and Stevan Dohanos.

To honor those who served, we’ve created a Veterans Day video that brings these masterpieces to life — accompanied by “Strike Up the Band” by George Gershwin and Arthur Fiedler.
