Review for Portrait Of A Warrior Gallery Kern County, Bakersfield, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

The Portrait of a Warrior Gallery is a non-profit organization staffed by docents who are: veterans, VA college work study students, High School student volunteers.

When stepping into the Portrait of a Warrior Gallery you'll become aware that this is much more than just a place of respect for Kern county veterans. But, a unique gallery created to always remember and to never forget the sacrifices of our local veterans, and families.

In the main gallery you'll view the battle field cross, US flag, military service flags, gold star mothers flag. And most importantly, the 27 post 9/11 veteran portraits - each containing personal scenes that the family has requested the artist include in the portrait.

Walking further into the gallery, you'll find the Hall of Honor recognizing the PTSD tragedy in the nation, the vietnam memorial room containing 177 photos, a team room emulating Iraq & Afghanistan veteran living conditions.

When leaving the gallery, I hope you find a feeling of solace.

It's my honor to volunteer as much time as possible as a docent for this exceptional gallery.
