"Part of an ongoing project that now includes more than five thousand portraits, Prince’s installation in The Face of Battle: Americans at War, 9/11 to Now represents only three years of her efforts (June 2009–June 2012). There is a comments book next to the work where visitors are encouraged to respond to the drawings and pay tribute to service members. Those who have written in this book have communicated a range of emotions—grief, patriotism, admiration, passion, and loneliness—feelings that convey the complexity of serving in or caring about someone who serves in the military."

Thanks for that link, Blue. Should be mandatory reading.
