As most of you remember, Steve was an incredible caricature artist and he was known to draw pictures of Detachment members at meetings and events.
Thank you Steve for all you did as an Associate Member of the Utah Dixie Detachment.

Honor, Courage, Commitment: Marine Corps Art, 1975-2018 is a traveling art exhibition from the National Museum of the Marine Corps and is sponsored by the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation. This exhibit includes 36 works by 15 combat artists, portraying Marine Corps service from the mid-1970s through the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Marine Corps Combat Art Program relies on talented Marines and civilians to document the ongoing missions of the Corps. The guidance they get is simple: “Go to war and do art.” The 34 works on canvas and 2 sculptures speak to the experiences of the artists, most of whom were deployed around the globe. The show is divided among three themes: “Every Clime and Place,” which illustrates the nation’s global force in readiness—able to respond rapidly to any location; “No Better Friend, No worse Enemy,” which portrays Marines capable of fighting the enemy but also delivering aid to those in need; and “The Price,” which provides a glimpse of the sacrifices our men and women in uniform and their families make.
