A huge thank you goes out to Charles Battle, Tom Ashmore, Mary Golden and James Howard for allowing artists Jason Ford and Ed Trask to creatively share their story through A Walk With Heroes, a collaborative mural at the VA Medical Center. Each of these individuals was honored in the artwork, representing the courage, dedication, and sacrifice of so many who have served.
While the mural highlights these four remarkable people, it also stands as a tribute to countless others whose service and contributions deserve equal recognition. The project reflects Ford and Trask’s shared belief in the power of public art to preserve stories, foster connection and honor those who have made a lasting impact on their community and country.
