Former President George W. Bush is releasing a new book early next year featuring portraits he painted of nearly 100 veterans who were wounded during his tenure as commander in chief.
Bush wrote on Facebook that he’s spent several months painting the portraits of 98 wounded warriors “who were injured carrying out my orders.”
“I think about them on #VeteransDay and every day,” he continued.
The book, “Portraits of Courage,” will be released on Feb. 28, 2017, and will include “oil paintings and stories” from the former president. It also includes forewords by former First Lady Laura Bush and former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Peter Pace.
All net proceeds will be donated to the George W. Bush Presidential Center, which includes a military service initiative that helps post-9/11 vets with their transition to civilian life.
