Gold Star Family Art — Memorial Portraits

Each year, we honor our fallen heroes by recreating their memorial portraits using a unique dot art technique — a timeless tribute that transforms remembrance into healing.

Families are invited to submit a photo and a short story about their fallen hero by November 11. Five heroes will be selected and notified by January 1, with completed artworks hand-delivered or shipped by mid-May in honor of Memorial Day and Armed Forces Month.

All services are provided at no cost to veterans and their families.

Why It Matters

Art has the power to heal. These portraits give families a tangible way to remember, reflect, and reconnect. The process not only celebrates each hero’s legacy but also provides comfort through creative remembrance — turning grief into gratitude, and loss into light.
