Ruth Brellenthin has organized this Memorial Gallery in honor of her husband Michael Brellenthin and his works of art. 

"These are two works of art from the early 60’s. Michael was 17 at the time, and he was making the decision to join the Marines and fulfill his duty before coming back home to start our marriage and life together! We were wed on August 19, 1967 and celebrated two wonderful weeks together before he left for Vietnam. His older sister was the “keeper” of both his art pieces. She held them until she passed away and this year, 2020, her children mailed them to me which made me very happy! You see, my husband Michael went out on a patrol in Khe Sanh Vietnam in February 1968, and did not return, becoming one of our “Missing In Action.” I would like to share his art work with you!" - Ruth Brellenthin
