It has been described as a vibrant collection of oil paintings depicting 66 of the soldiers, and a four-panel mural.  President Bush painted the portraits, then gave the story of each soldier written in his own words.<\/p>\n<p>It is a very daunting job, as President of the United States, to have to ask our military to travel into harm\u2019s way for months, sometimes years at a time.  President George W. Bush has made it his mission to create an initiative, The Military Service Initiative, to help post 9\/11 veterans and their families in making a successful transition to civilian life.  They also address issues such as veteran wellness, post-traumatic stress, and traumatic brain injury.  Readers can see the faces of those who  answered America&#8217;s call to service, and learn life lessons from their bravery on the battlefield, but also from their journey to recovery and the contributions they are making as civilians.<\/p>\n<p>Net profits from all books will be donated to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bushcenter.org\/explore-our-work\/fostering-policy\/veteran-transition.html\" target=\"_blank\">Bush Institute Military Initiative<\/a>, through the George Bush Presidential Center on the Dallas campus of SMU.
