Bush.\u00a0 <br\/> <br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The former Marine, Justin Constantine, who received a Purple Heart in Iraq, is just one featured in the 66 portraits of soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines painted by the former president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br\/>Bush&#8217;s third post-presidential book, &#8220;Portraits of Courage: A Commander in Chief&#8217;s Tribute to America&#8217;s Warriors,&#8221; consists of 192 pages of oil paintings he created of service members wounded during the wars launched since 9\/11. The former president, who says he paints nearly every day, also wrote the accompanying stories.\u00a0 <br\/> <br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;It is an honor to be included in such a special tribute to injured veterans,&#8221; Constantine said in a news release. &#8220;The work that went into each \u00adpainting shows the depth of the president&#8217;s commitment to our veterans. I hope that this book can help raise awareness of the sacrifices that our entire military community has made.&#8221;\u00a0 <br\/> <br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"2252\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/justin-constintine.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-49233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/justin-constintine.jpg.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/justin-constintine.jpg.jpg?resize=200,300 200w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/justin-constintine.jpg.jpg?resize=768,1153 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/justin-constintine.jpg.jpg?resize=682,1024 682w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/justin-constintine.jpg.jpg?resize=1023,1536 1023w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/justin-constintine.jpg.jpg?resize=1364,2048 1364w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span>Photo Credit: null<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br\/>Constantine volunteered for a deployment to Iraq in 2006, working attached to an infantry battalion as a Civil Affairs Team Leader. The officer was shot while on a routine patrol. According his website, the &#8220;original prognosis was that he had been killed in action.&#8221; But he survived, and to this day still shares his story publicly. \u00a0 <br\/> <br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He retired as a lieutenant colonel, and is now an inspirational speaker and leadership consultant. Constantine is also an entrepreneur, and has written his own book on military leadership lessons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br\/>Former President Bush told Time in an interview: &#8220;I hope civilians realize there&#8217;s not an ounce of self-pity in these veterans, and I hope that inspires our citizens to overcome their own struggles, whatever they may be. I hope veterans realize that it&#8217;s courageous to talk about their injuries, including invisible wounds of war like post-traumatic stress.&#8221;\u00a0 <br\/> <br\/> <i>Andrea Scott is managing editor of Marine Corps Times.
