Exhibit of Veteran Portraits by President George W. Bush Coming to EPCOT

May is National Military Appreciation Month, and EPCOT is kicking things off in a big way. The American Adventure Pavilion is proud to present a special exhibit: Portraits of Courage: A Commander in Chief’s Tribute to America’s Warriors. This inspiring collection, on loan from the George W. Bush Institute, opens its doors on June 9th. It’s a powerful display that showcases Disney’s enduring respect for our nation’s brave veterans and active service members.

The exhibit grows out of President Bush’s personal commitment and the ongoing work of the Bush Institute’s Veterans and Military Families program. This extraordinary art exhibit brings together more than 60 vibrant oil paintings by President Bush of service members and veterans who have served in military uniform with honor since 9/11, and whom the President has come to know personally since leaving office.

“Celebrating those who give so much to our country has been part of the fabric of The Walt Disney Company throughout our 100-year history,” said Josh D’Amaro, Chairman, Disney Experiences. “We’re grateful to the Bush Institute for allowing us to feature this special collection and share it with our guests.”

Sharing Military Veteran Stories Through Art

Each painting is accompanied by the inspiring story of the veteran depicted and our guests visiting the exhibit will learn more about these military heroes’ journey.  These include tales of valiant service on the battlefield, resilience in recovering from injury to the continued leadership and contributions they make in their post-military careers. Even better is that each story was personally written by President Bush himself.

“We are thrilled Portraits of Courage will be on display for EPCOT visitors to experience this year,” said Ken Hersh, President and CEO of the George W. Bush Presidential Center. “My hope is that those who have the opportunity to see this special exhibit will also remember the leadership, service, and sacrifice behind each of the heroes painted and the unique challenges our servicemembers and their families face when transitioning out of the military.”
