The Miami Valley Veterans Museum offers a walk through the history of military service for local veterans. And it now has a new fea- ture. With the support of the local Troy Foundation, a 42-foot mural, “Veterans Marching Through Time 1775-2016,” is on display. Troy artist Karen Purke was commissioned to complete the two-year project. The nine-panel mural features reproductions of Purke’s draw- ings, historical photographs in the public domain and photos that are part of the museum’s collection. Each of the military branch- es — Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard and Merchant Marines — is repre- sented. Purke said there also are recurring themes through- Photo by Anthony Weber out, including military veterans Terry Purke conducts a tour of the Miami Valley Veterans Museum in Troy. maintaining their equipment, preparing their food and taking Small reproductions of cer- care of the wounded. tain time periods will be used “All of the things veterans in traveling educational displays have done for hundreds of as well. years,” Purke said. “Our goal is to raise aware- The overarching image of ness of veterans throughout the the mural is that of an American years and flag.
