PROUDLY PRESENTS

Honoring the men and women of our Armed Forces and Merchant Marine, past and present. Heroes ALL.

---

"Our Armed Forces have turned the tide of world wars.

Young men and women from our great country's four corners
have humbled history's worst tyrants.

We carve our thanks in stone.
We stamp it into medals.

We carefully tend to vast fields where the men and women who
gave their lives for our freedom now lay.

More than ever in our history, we cannot fail to pass these stories of courage to the next generation.

We must capture their imaginations while paying tribute to all those willing to die for the preservation of our way of life."*

These are your sons and daughters; they are you husbands and wives; they are your brothers and sisters; and they are your friends. Most importantly, they are your protectors. They give so you can live in security within a world of aggression.

This site is for them. It simply exists so they are not forgotten, and to specifically honor their contributions to our American way of life.

We invite all who personally know of these dedicated Americans to submit their names, photos, biographies, etc. to help build a virtual “wall of recognition”.

Portraits for Freedom exists solely to give thanks and some much deserved recognition to the men and women of our Armed Forces and Merchant Marine, past and present, active, reserve or veteran.

Thank you, and God bless our Armed Services and Merchant Marine.

ALL GAVE SOME - SOME GAVE ALL!
