"Events have brought our American democracy to new influence and new responsibilities. They will test our courage, our devotion to duty, and our concept of liberty. To that end we will devote our strength, our resources, and our firmness of resolve. With God's help, the future of mankind will be assured in a world of justice, harmony, and peace."

- Harry S. Truman, 33rd President

Tribute artist Ray Simon has created a memorial painting that pays tribute to the Korean War veterans and to the tremendous sacrifice they have made to our great nation in the fight for the preservation of freedom.

The lithographic memorial print will forever preserve and honor the contribution your family name has made during such a tumultuous time in our country's history. The painting features U.S. infantryman being comforted as casualty tags are made out. Featured to the left of the Korean War memorial painting by artist Ray Simon are U.S. troops moving through hilly terrain to establish defensive positions. Blended above the troops is the U.S. Infantry firing a 75 mm recoilless rifle at the advancing enemy. The top of the Korean War painting, A Nation Remembers, depicts U.S.   paratroopers descending towards earth from C-119 planes in an attempt to block the retreating enemy forces. Painted to the right of the Korean War memorial painting are members of Company L, 7th U.S. Infantry. Exhausted from all-night combat, they illustrate the vacant expression that was commonly referred to as the "thousand-yard stare". Below the members of Company L is a U.S. Marine raising our flag over the American Consulate in Seoul . This painting serves as a constant reminder that "Freedom is not Free"...
