Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "I wanted Lt. Col. Tran Ngoc Hue’s piece to show his warmth in war. And I believed the best way to do so was not just through his smile, but through the glow emanating from it. I wanted his eyes to look slightly behind or afar from the viewer, to signify his hope for the future, along with his determination."
