The most comprehensive collection of Medal of Honor paintings ever created by a single artist!

At the age of 82, renowned illustrator and former United States Marine Corps artist-in-residence Col. Charles Waterhouse set out to paint US Marines and Navy corpsmen engaged in the acts for which they were awarded the Medal of Honor.

• At the time of his death, Waterhouse had completed over 332 paintings and portraits of recipients from the Civil War to Afghanistan.
• The most comprehensive collection of Medal of Honor paintings ever created by a single artist. 

Valor in Action tells the true story of some amazing American heroes who went above and beyond the call of duty, and the tenacious artist who—armed only with a paintbrush—sought to capture their heroic actions in the moment they occurred, to his dying breath.
