Team AWV (American Women Veterans) and families submitted over 1,000 photos that helped the artists create this collage for the home. Incorporated into the collage are photos sent in by AWV members, including those submitted by family members and loved ones in tribute to the women who've served in our nation's defense. This collage also serves as a memorial to our fallen sisters as many of their photos are interspersed throughout the collage. AWV's Founder and Executive Director was on set and Alicia Fesi Large, AWV Social Media Manager, worked remotely to help with the project.
